Overview
Vision™ generates comprehensive analysis results that include quantitative metrics, qualitative insights, visualizations, and actionable recommendations. Understanding how to read and interpret these results is crucial for making informed decisions about your digital transformation journey.
Key Principle
Every result in Vision™ is designed to be actionable. If you see a metric, score, or insight, there's always a recommended action or next step associated with it.
Types of Results
Quantitative Metrics
Numerical scores, percentages, and measurements that provide objective assessments of your organization's performance, maturity, and capabilities.
DX Maturity Score (0-10)
A comprehensive score indicating your organization's digital transformation maturity level.
Dimension Scores
Individual scores for each of the six dimensions (Value Delivery, Value Capture, Operations, Innovation, Culture, Performance) showing strengths and areas for improvement.
Confidence Indicators
Percentage scores indicating how confident Vision™ is in the accuracy of its analysis based on available data quality and completeness.
AI-Generated Insights
Contextual, actionable insights generated by Vision™'s Cognitive Core that identify specific opportunities, constraints, and risks in your organization.
Opportunities
Areas where improvements can drive significant value. Each opportunity includes:
- •Impact: Potential value or benefit
- •Effort: Estimated resources required
- •Priority: Recommended action order
- •Recommendations: Specific next steps
Constraints
Structural limitations or bottlenecks that are preventing optimal performance. Constraints include:
- •Type: Structural, operational, cultural, etc.
- •Severity: Impact on organizational performance
- •Affected Areas: Which dimensions or functions are impacted
- •Mitigation Strategies: Recommended approaches to address
Risks
Potential threats or vulnerabilities that could impact transformation success. Risk insights include:
- •Risk Level: Low, Medium, High, Critical
- •Probability: Likelihood of occurrence
- •Impact: Potential consequences
- •Mitigation Plans: Recommended risk management strategies
Recommendations
Specific, actionable recommendations prioritized by impact, urgency, and feasibility. Each recommendation includes:
Priority Level
Expected Impact
Quantified benefits such as:
- • ROI potential
- • Cost savings
- • Efficiency gains
- • Risk reduction
Implementation
Practical guidance:
- • Required resources
- • Timeline estimates
- • Dependencies
- • Success metrics
Reading Visualizations
Vision™ uses various visualization types to help you understand complex organizational data:
Universal Business Map
Interactive visualization showing your organization across six dimensions. Each dimension is color-coded and shows:
- •Dimension Score: Overall performance in that dimension
- •Key Components: Major elements within the dimension
- •Relationships: Connections to other dimensions
- •Trend Indicators: Whether scores are improving or declining
Knowledge Graph
Network visualization showing relationships between organizational entities. Nodes represent components, and edges show connections. Use this to:
- •Understand dependencies and relationships
- •Identify critical paths and bottlenecks
- •Trace impact of changes across the organization
Trend Charts
Time-series visualizations showing how metrics change over time. Look for:
Improving metrics indicate successful initiatives
Declining metrics require attention
Interpreting Scores and Metrics
Score Ranges and Meanings
0-3: Early Stage / Needs Improvement
Indicates foundational work is needed. Focus on building core capabilities, establishing processes, and developing basic infrastructure. This is normal for organizations beginning their transformation journey.
4-6: Developing / Building Capability
Shows progress with room for optimization. You have foundational elements in place but can benefit from refinement, scaling, and advanced capabilities. Most organizations fall in this range.
7-10: Mature / Optimizing
Indicates strong capabilities with focus on continuous improvement and innovation. Organizations in this range are well-positioned for advanced transformation initiatives.
Comparing Scores
When reviewing multiple scores:
- •Look for patterns: Are certain dimensions consistently stronger or weaker?
- •Identify outliers: Scores significantly different from others may indicate specific strengths or critical gaps
- •Consider dependencies: Low scores in foundational dimensions (like Operations) may limit potential in others (like Innovation)
- •Benchmark appropriately: Compare against industry standards and similar organizations, not just internal averages
Actionable Next Steps
After reviewing your results, here's how to turn insights into action:
Prioritize by Impact
Start with recommendations marked as "Critical" or "High" priority. These typically offer the highest ROI or address the most significant risks. Use the impact scores to rank opportunities within priority levels.
Check Dependencies
Before starting any initiative, review dependencies. Some recommendations may require completing others first. Vision™'s Strategic Sequencing feature helps identify optimal execution order.
Create Projects
Convert high-priority recommendations into DX Projects. Use Vision™'s project creation tools to set goals, assign resources, track progress, and measure outcomes.
Set Targets and KPIs
Establish measurable targets based on recommendations. Vision™ can help you set appropriate KPIs and track progress toward goals.
Monitor and Iterate
Use Vision™'s monitoring features to track progress. Re-run analyses periodically to see how scores and insights evolve as you implement changes.
Pro Tips
Don't Focus Only on Low Scores
While addressing weaknesses is important, also leverage your strengths. High-scoring dimensions can be competitive advantages and foundations for growth.
Context Matters
A score of 5 might be excellent for a startup but concerning for an enterprise. Consider your organization's stage, industry, and context when interpreting results.
Use Comparative Analysis
Compare your scores against industry benchmarks (available in the Benchmarks section) to understand how you stack up against peers.
Share Results Strategically
Export reports and share insights with relevant stakeholders. Vision™'s reports are designed to be executive-friendly and actionable.
