What is a PinkSCAN maturity assessment?

The PinkSCAN process maturity assessment is an independent, objective assessment and a proven approach to establishing a baseline process maturity level. Having a benchmark of your current state is essential to any improvement programme. Our assessment service shows you just how effective the practices in your organisation are. The assessment can cover the people and organisation, processes and practices, technology and tools and supplier aspects where relevant to the proper functioning of the practices.

Our PinkSCAN maturity assessment can help you understand:

• What is not defined cannot be controlled

• What is not controlled cannot be stabilised

• What is not stabilised cannot be measured

• What is not measured cannot be improved

Once you establish your benchmark, the right decisions and action can be taken to get the outcome you need to ultimately be more effective, improve service to the business and customers as well as save time and money, all while utilising your resources more efficiently.

In today’s competitive environment, IT needs to deliver efficient and cost-effective services to the business.
