Business Transformation Readiness Worksheet

The six readiness factors scored before the Vision is committed

TOGAF Phase A scores transformation readiness factor by factor, governance, funding, capability, culture, data and platforms, and stakeholder backing, so a weak factor becomes a named risk that shapes the plan rather than a late discovery that explains the slip.

The six readiness factors scored before the Vision is committed Six transformation readiness factors, one per row, scored in TOGAF Phase A: governance, funding, capability, culture, data and platforms, and stakeholder backing. A left rail names each factor; a green panel states the strong position it holds when readiness is high, and an amber panel names the risk the change carries when the factor is weak. Clear decision rights become stalled decisions, a committed budget becomes stop-start delivery, skills in place become plans no one can deliver, and a visible sponsor becomes drift when priorities shift. A two-state legend distinguishes an assured factor from a weak one carried into the plan as a risk.
