CAP Diagnostic Framework™

Assessing Your Organization's Transformation Readiness

CAP Diagnostic Framework

How to Use This Diagnostic Tool

This assessment helps you evaluate your organization's current state across all dimensions of the CAP Framework. Follow these steps:

Rate each component on a scale of 1-10 based on your organization's current capabilities
Calculate dimension averages by dividing the sum of component scores by three
Determine your organization's maturity stage for each dimension
Calculate your overall CAP maturity score
Use the results to identify priority areas for development in your transformation journey

Nascent

1.0 - 2.9

Ad hoc approaches with significant gaps and barriers

Developing

3.0 - 5.9

Emerging capabilities with inconsistent implementation

Established

6.0 - 8.9

Systematic approaches with regular effectiveness

Leading

9.0 - 10.0

Distinguished capabilities delivering consistent advantage

Rating Guidance

Rating	Description
1-2	Little to no formal capabilities; ad hoc approaches; highly inconsistent results
3-4	Basic capabilities established; inconsistent application; limited organizational support
5-6	Defined capabilities with moderate consistency; some organizational support
7-8	Well-developed capabilities with consistent application; strong organizational support
9-10	Distinguished capabilities creating competitive advantage; embedded in organizational culture

Competency (C)

Technical Competency: Rate 1-10

Contextual Competency: Rate 1-10

Adaptive Competency: Rate 1-10

Competency Average: Sum ÷ 3

Accessibility (A)

Cognitive Accessibility: Rate 1-10

Structural Accessibility: Rate 1-10

Cultural Accessibility: Rate 1-10

Accessibility Average: Sum ÷ 3

Potentiation (P)

Sequential Potentiation: Rate 1-10

Structural Potentiation: Rate 1-10

Cultural Potentiation: Rate 1-10

Potentiation Average: Sum ÷ 3

Overall CAP Maturity Calculation

Overall CAP Score = (Competency Average + Accessibility Average + Potentiation Average) ÷ 3

This places your organization in an overall maturity stage based on the scale above.

Interpreting Your Results

Balanced Profile: If scores across all dimensions are similar, focus on advancing all three dimensions concurrently to maintain balance.

Unbalanced Profile: If there are significant differences between dimension scores (2+ points), prioritize improving the lowest-scoring dimension first, as it may be limiting the effectiveness of stronger dimensions.

Component Analysis: Within each dimension, identify the lowest-scoring component to target specific improvement opportunities.

Next Steps: For dimensions in the Nascent or Developing stages, refer to the corresponding Implementation Journey sections in the CAP Framework™ document for targeted improvement strategies.

Example Organization Profile

Dimension	Component	Rating (1-10)	Average	Maturity Stage
Competency	Technical	7	6.7	Established
	Contextual	8
	Adaptive	5
Accessibility	Cognitive	4	4.3	Developing
	Structural	6
	Cultural	3
Potentiation	Sequential	3	3.0	Developing
	Structural	4
	Cultural	2
Overall CAP Maturity			4.7	Developing

Interpretation: This organization has relatively strong competencies but significant gaps in accessibility and potentiation. This suggests existing expertise isn't being fully leveraged or amplified. The priority should be improving Cultural Accessibility (3) and Cultural Potentiation (2), as these are the lowest scores and may be limiting overall transformation effectiveness.
