About the Diagnostic

Assess Your Value Demonstration Capability

CxO Creative’s Strategic Value Diagnostic assesses your D&A function's ability to demonstrate value across four critical dimensions. The assessment includes 45 practice areas and takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. The goal is to identify where value gets lost and where to your focus improvement efforts.

Who It’s For

The diagnostic is designed for senior-level Data & Analytics executives: CDOs, CAOs, CDAOs, Chief AI Officers, and similar leader roles.

Assessment Dimensions

  • Organizational Structure (8 Practice Areas): Is your D&A function positioned to demonstrate value, or structured in a way that obscures contribution?

  • Engagement Models (11 Practice Areas): How does D&A engage with the business? Reactive order-taking or strategic partnership?

  • Value Tracking Mechanisms (14 Practice Areas): Are there systems in place to measure, attribute, and connect investments in centralized D&A to business outcomes?

  • Storytelling (12 Practice Areas): Can you translate D&A value into compelling narratives that resonate with business leadership – not just having the data, but telling the story?

The diagnostic is divided into four (4) sections, each measuring a different dimension of the centralized D&A practice that has a direct bearing on value management maturity:
