Future Readiness score and competitive benchmark (template)

I've reported on the Future Readiness Benchmark in a previous post, showing how this type of benchmark can help companies to:
  • assess their preparedness to long-term challenges;
  • assess their competitive positioning on the long-term;
  • obtain ideas for improvements of their mid-range strategy;
  • get ideas for innovation.
Some people have asked me for the underlying Excell template to input the data and obtain the Future Readiness score and benchmarks. I've re-worked it a little bit in order to make sure it can be used by people with basic Excell skills. It is now available for purchase -see at the bottom of this post.

The template basically consists of 2 parts: an input file and a report file.

The input file is where you assess yourself and 5 competitors on 26 long-term metrics:



The report file is provides the Future Readiness score, a benchmark against the average and best performers as well as two charts showing your strengths and weaknesses:



As said the file should be relatively easy to use if you have basic Excell skills, but in case of doubt you can always contact me at frederic@i4fi.com.
