Determining Digital Readiness
Beyond expanding a business’ reach, going digital allows businesses to play a bigger role in the customers’ journey.
According to a Mastercard study, 76% of small businesses across North America say the pandemic prompted them to become more digital.
The Digital Readiness Diagnostic gauges a business’ strengths and weaknesses across the digital space. It generates customised recommendations to help owners meet the needs of today’s digital environment.
The Digital Readiness Diagnostic tool helps assess a business across six key dimensions :
- Overarching Business Strategy
- Management & Operations
- Business Growth and Marketing
- Getting paid
- Making payments
- Protecting Your Business Including Employees & Customers
Based on the online evaluation, the Diagnostic tool provides a performance score and benchmarks a business against industry best practices. It aims to provide clarity on how well-equipped the business is for the digital future.
It also provides customised, expert recommendations on considerations for each of the assessed dimensions to drive greater efficiency and effectiveness.
