Use this free online workbook as a management self-assessment. It is an indicative ScanBox diagnostic, not a certification, audit, legal opinion or externally validated industry benchmark. Do not enter confidential information or personal information about customers, patients, employees or other individuals.
How to score each statement
Score 0 for Not in place, 1 for Mostly informal, 2 for Partly defined, 3 for Consistently applied, and 4 for Measured and improved. If the answer is Not sure, treat that as an evidence or visibility gap to investigate. Each dimension has a maximum score of 20, for a total of 100.
Business & Workflow Alignment
1. Our digital-transformation initiatives are tied to clearly defined business or service outcomes. 2. Priority business processes are mapped before new technology is introduced. 3. We can identify where information delays, manual handoffs or duplicated work create operational friction. 4. Each transformation initiative has a clearly accountable business owner. 5. We measure whether redesigned processes improve the intended business outcome.
Section score: ____ / 20
Information & Records Foundation
6. Employees can reliably locate the authoritative version of information needed to perform their work. 7. Documents and records are classified consistently across relevant departments and systems. 8. Meaningful metadata is used to make information searchable by business context, not only file name. 9. Paper files, shared drives, email attachments and legacy repositories are managed as parts of one information environment. 10. Retention and disposal requirements are incorporated into how information is managed.
Section score: ____ / 20
Governance, Privacy & Trust
11. Responsibility for important information assets is clearly assigned. 12. Access rights are based on defined roles and reviewed when responsibilities change. 13. Privacy, security and records-management requirements are incorporated into operational processes. 14. The organisation can demonstrate who accessed, changed, approved or disposed of important information where required. 15. Governance controls are reviewed when new systems, suppliers or business processes are introduced.
Section score: ____ / 20
Technology, Integration & Automation
16. Core business systems are connected well enough to reduce unnecessary re-keying or duplication of information. 17. Repetitive, rules-based activities have been identified as candidates for automation. 18. Workflows route information to appropriate people for review, approval or action without unnecessary manual coordination. 19. Systems can use structured, trusted organisational information rather than depending heavily on manual interpretation. 20. AI opportunities are evaluated in the context of information quality, workflow, security, governance and human oversight.
Section score: ____ / 20
People, Adoption & Continuous Improvement
21. Employees are involved when digital processes are redesigned. 22. Roles and responsibilities are clearly communicated when technology changes how work is performed. 23. Training is based on the actual processes employees must perform, not only software features. 24. Adoption problems, workarounds and process exceptions are actively monitored. 25. There is a defined process for reviewing and improving digital workflows after implementation.
Section score: ____ / 20
Your diagnostic stages
0–24 Fragmented: important capabilities are largely informal, disconnected or dependent on individual effort. 25–49 Building Foundations: some practices are defined, but consistency, information, governance or ownership gaps may limit scale. 50–69 Operational: core capabilities are functioning, with opportunities to improve integration, consistency and evidence. 70–84 Integrated: information, process, governance and technology are increasingly connected. 85–100 Adaptive: capabilities are consistently applied, measured and improved as the organisation changes.
How to interpret the result
Do not treat the total score as the only answer. Compare the five dimension scores. A strong technology score with a weak information score can mean that systems are more mature than the content they depend on. A strong governance score with a weak workflow score can mean that controls exist but remain difficult to execute. Focus first on the dimension creating the largest constraint on your priority business outcome.
What your lowest score may be telling you
If Business & Workflow is lowest, map one important workflow and simplify it. If Information & Records is lowest, define authoritative information, metadata, classification, ownership, access and retention. If Governance & Trust is lowest, translate policies into operating controls. If Technology & Automation is lowest, identify re-keying, manual routing and disconnected systems after the workflow is clear. If People & Adoption is lowest, bring users into redesign, train around real work and monitor workarounds.
Your 90-day action plan
Select three priorities. For each one, record the problem to address, the business outcome affected, the first action, the accountable owner, target date and evidence of progress.
Five management questions before another technology purchase
1. What operating problem are we solving? 2. What information does the process depend on, and can we trust it? 3. Which controls must be built into the new way of working? 4. What should be automated, integrated or left to human judgement? 5. How will we know the change is being adopted and creating the intended outcome?
