Your company's maturity, value analysis, and initiatives now live together in one workspace, and an assessment can become a ranked, ready-to-run initiative list in a few clicks.
Last week was about getting started fast: answering the maturity assessment at whatever depth you have time for. This week is about what happens next. The work you create across the platform now lives together in one company workspace, and an assessment no longer just shows you gaps, it turns them into a prioritized list you can act on.
Your company's work, in one place
Your company now has a single workspace that holds the whole arc of the work, not four disconnected pieces of it. The maturity report shows where you stand. The value analysis translates those gaps into what they are worth in plain P&L terms. Your initiatives capture what you have decided to do about them. And your deliverables hold the documents that come out the other side: the value report, the requirements specs, the readiness briefs. Until now those lived across three separate tools, each with its own login and its own half of the story. They are consolidated into one company home, presented as consistent tabs, so the full picture is in one place instead of stitched together from memory.
The point is the path it lets you walk in a single sitting. You can start at "here is where this plant stands," move to "here is what closing those gaps is worth," and arrive at "here is the initiative we are going to run," without changing tools or losing the thread between them. For companies running more than one plant, a Plants view rolls the picture up across every site and lets you drop back into any single one. And because it is one shared workspace rather than a folder of personal exports, everyone on your team is looking at the same current version, not last month's spreadsheet.
Turn an assessment into a ranked initiative list
A finished maturity assessment tells you where the gaps are. The harder question has always been which ones to act on first, and that is the step this week closes. From your company's full survey data, the platform now builds initiative-ready lists for you. Every gap is scored on size and consistency and then ranked, and the results are grouped so the biggest, most repeatable opportunities rise to the top rather than leaving you to comb a flat list of hundreds of line items. It leans on the areas where enough of your team actually weighed in, and it is honest about the ones resting on a single voice, so the priorities you see are the ones your data can stand behind.
From there you curate. The build view puts your use cases, capabilities, and solutions side by side, all selected to begin with, and you narrow from there. The three move together: pick or drop a solution and the platform brings its capabilities along or takes them away, and it tells you in plain terms what each change pulls in and what it leaves behind, so you never end up with a plan that does not hang together. When the shape is right, you create the initiative in a few clicks. It becomes a company-owned plan that flows straight into the value analysis, so the list you just built is one step from a number you can take to a budget conversation.
A read-only view for the advisors you work with
If your team works with an outside advisor or partner, they can now be given a read-only view across your company workspace: your maturity report, value analysis, initiatives, and deliverables, each clearly marked read-only. They can open the detail behind any number to follow your reasoning, without the ability to change anything. It is a clean way to bring a trusted outside perspective into the work without handing over the keys.
See what an investment is worth before you commit
When you weigh one program against another, the value gate counts the value and the cost of exactly the solutions you have chosen, not the whole catalog. That lets you answer the question that actually matters: does the next investment earn its place? You can see, for instance, whether layering another software platform on top of a connected-worker rollout pays for itself, or whether the marginal spend outruns the marginal return.
Also this week
- Decisions now follow a clear lifecycle. An initiative or program is put forward for review, and a company admin approves, returns, or advances it, so a shared list stays trustworthy.
- The company maturity report is now tabbed (Summary, Gaps, Heatmap, Importance, and Plants), matching the rest of the workspace.
Coming soon
Next we are focused on two additions: in-platform training to help your team get more from the tools, and company comments on shared items, so a proposed initiative or report can be discussed in context before anyone makes a call.
