Ready to see where you stand?

Find the gaps while they’re still cheap. The RED Readiness Assessment is a quick, powerful tool to identify data strategy risks before they become expensive disasters.

A clear picture of your data readiness.

Most technology problems aren’t technology problems

When a new system disappoints, the software usually takes the blame. But after twenty years of working on projects from the inside, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again. Things go sideways because the business wasn’t ready: nobody agreed on what the system was for, the people doing the work weren’t brought along, or the data couldn’t be trusted to do what everyone assumed it would. None of that shows up in a sales demo. It shows up later, when it’s more expensive to fix.

The RED Readiness Assessment is a quick, honest check on the things that decide whether a CRM, ERP, donor database or AI tool actually delivers. It takes about five minutes, and it works wherever you are:

Before you choose or sign anything. Know your weak spots before you talk to a vendor or an implementation partner, so you can ask better questions.

In the middle of a project. Get an outside view of why things feel slower or messier than they should.

When things are going well. Spot what tends to slip quietly once everyone’s attention moves on.

After go-live. Figure out why a system isn’t paying off, and whether the fix is the technology or something around it.

What you’ll walk away with

A clear picture of where your organization is strong and where the risks are, in plain language with no jargon.
The two areas that deserve your attention first, and why.
Something concrete to bring to your next leadership meeting, budget conversation or vendor call.

A Tip: Ask two or three people involved in the project to take the assessment as well, then compare results. If you get different answers to the same questions, that tells you something valuable on its own.
