Your transformation health check for initiatives that must deliver real results.
Two years ago, we introduced the Digital Transformation Readiness Tool (DTRT) to help leaders assess how ready their organizations were to begin a transformation. The tool has been widely used to understand culture, alignment, and readiness before launching major change initiatives. Although successful, DTRT has now been formally retired.
Most organizations are no longer asking how to get started. They are already in motion, dealing with stalled initiatives, competing priorities, and change fatigue. The Transformation Accelerator (TA) is the next evolution of our Digital Transformation Framework, created specifically for leaders who need an objective view of what is really happening inside their transformation efforts.
What Is the Transformation Accelerator?
The Transformation Accelerator is a comprehensive diagnostic tool and advisory service that evaluates the health of both your organization and your active transformation programs. It gives leaders a clear, data driven view of where progress is strong, where it is at risk, and what to do next.
🩺 Annual Transformation Health Check
Use TA as your yearly transformation wellness exam. Get an objective, organization wide view of readiness, alignment, and execution so you can stay ahead of emerging risks and prioritize the right investments for the year ahead.
🚑 Diagnostic For Stalled Programs
When strategic initiatives slow down or stall, TA gives you a targeted scan to identify what is really blocking progress. Instead of guessing, you receive clear evidence, practical recommendations, and a plan to restart momentum faster and smarter.
Built On Our Proven Digital Transformation Framework
The Transformation Accelerator is rooted in more than a decade of research and executive level advisory work. It uses the Institute’s Digital Transformation Framework to evaluate your organization across four critical dimensions that determine whether transformation will succeed or struggle.
♻️Operational Sustainability
Is your core operation strong and reliable enough to support ongoing change without breaking day to day business?
🧭Strategic Agility
Are you anticipating disruption and shaping the future, or reacting late to competitors, customers, and regulators?
🏢Organizational Agility
Can your teams shift priorities, collaborate across silos, and respond quickly when the environment changes?
💥Disruptive Culture
Does your culture fuel innovation and experimentation or fight it with resistance, politics, and fear of change?
How the Transformation Accelerator Works
TA is easy to deploy across the entire organization. It engages people at multiple levels, not just executives, to capture what is really happening on the ground.
✅ Analytical, not anecdotal – Insight is built on data from your people rather than opinion or guesswork.
✅ Inclusive, not filtered – Input comes from all levels, so you see beyond filtered management reports.
✅ Independent, not biased – The Institute is vendor neutral, with no hidden technology agenda.
✅ Repeatable, not one time – Use the assessment annually or whenever a major initiative needs a health check.
What You Receive
Transformation Accelerator delivers a clear, visual, and highly actionable view of your transformation health. The tool includes:
📊Analytics
Provides organization wide analytics on your transformation health. It evaluates how you perform across the Dimensions and Attributes and presents the results in clear visual summaries that highlight strengths, gaps, and risk levels. These analytics also establish a baseline score you can reuse for annual health checks and future comparisons.
💡Insights
In addition to the numbers, the tool delivers concise, actionable insights into what is really happening in your organization. You receive clear findings on strengths, weaknesses, risks, and blind spots, along with a view of cross functional patterns that reveal cultural issues, alignment gaps, and execution friction. The result is a straightforward story leaders and teams can understand quickly and use to drive informed decisions.
✅Recommendations
Converts analytics and insights into focused recommendations you can act on. You receive prioritized actions that connect directly to business outcomes and strategic goals, along with thirty days of support to help your leadership team interpret the report, socialize the findings, and decide how to respond.
The Transformation Accelerator Pathway
Transformation Accelerator is delivered as part of the Transformation Accelerator Pathway, a five phase advisory program that takes you from insight to lasting results.
