Strategic assessment for SMEs
The plan that tells your company where to invest, in what order, and which numbers to track. First the map, then the spending.

If you recognize yourself in at least one, this is what the BattlePlan is for.
Four phases revolving around one fixed point: your goals and KPIs. Tap a phase to see what happens and what you keep.
Phase 1
What happens
We interview the people who do the work, not just those who describe it: we map processes, goals and pain points.
What you keep
The map of how your company works today, and the list of problems quantified in hours or euros.
Phase 2
What happens
We design how systems and processes should work tomorrow, and compare it with today.
What you keep
The target architecture and the gap analysis: what's missing, what's duplicated, what needs replacing.
Phase 3
What happens
We rank interventions by expected return, cost and risk. No wish lists: priorities.
What you keep
The ordered list of where to invest first, with the quick wins that generate return within the first 90 days.
Phase 4
What happens
We turn priorities into an operational plan your company can execute, with us or on its own.
What you keep
The roadmap with milestones, owners and KPIs, on an execution horizon of up to 12 months.
This cycle is our version of TOGAF® ADM, the enterprise architecture standard of the big consulting firms: that's where we come from, and we adapted it to SME scale, keeping the rigor and removing the bureaucracy. And we're external: the assessment says what needs to change, not what's convenient for us to sell you.
Living artifacts, not slides: they stay in your company, get updated and guide decisions. The most requested:
As-is and to-be, in BPMN flows (draw.io) your team can keep updating.
What you have, what talks to what, where the gaps and duplicates are.
The list ordered by expected return, cost and risk, with quick wins at the top.
Dates, owners and KPIs to track, up to 12 months of execution.
Every document comes in two depths: the summary for decision makers, the detail for implementers.
It's the most common alternative, and the most expensive: every month, manual processes keep consuming hours, systems that don't talk to each other keep generating errors, and competitors who got organized keep moving faster. That's exactly what the free Pre-Assessment is for: understanding, before spending a euro, how much the current state is costing you.

The journey first of all allowed us to gain important experience in mapping our processes and checking how efficient they were. That was the first important step for us.
