Free Leadership Tool  ·  Digital Transformation for Leaders

Does this technology fit your business, or just the vendor’s demo?

Implementing technology is not the same as building a capability. This tool maps every technology investment against the business capability it’s meant to strengthen and tests whether your organization is ready to capture the value before you invest.

✓ A 7-question map you complete for every technology initiative on your agenda
✓ Built for CIOs, CTOs, and technology decision owners
✓ Locates each initiative across the 4 technology layers, from infrastructure to business capability
✓ Step 2 of the 9-Step Digital Transformation for Leaders framework

Not a vendor capability checklist. This tests whether your organization can absorb the technology, not just install it.

What this tool helps you answer

In 2018, Lidl stopped a major SAP-based merchandise management project after several years of work and roughly 500 million euros invested. SAP was a leading enterprise platform. Lidl was a highly successful company. The ambition was serious.

But the technology did not fit the business model, the processes, the data logic, or the way people actually worked. Instead, Lidl chose to keep developing its own system.
