Assessments

Turn Insight into Action

At AWB Associates, we believe that every improvement begins with understanding.
Our proprietary online maturity assessments help organizations quickly evaluate where they stand—and identify the most effective next steps for growth.

Each assessment is structured around a 1–5 maturity scale, allowing leaders to measure their organization’s performance, process strength, and readiness for change in a matter of minutes.
The results produce a customized action plan that highlights strengths, uncovers improvement opportunities, and recommends targeted initiatives to move your organization forward.

How It Works

  1. Select an Assessment
    Choose the area you’d like to evaluate—finance, leadership, process improvement, AI readiness, or another key business domain.
  2. Answer Guided Questions
    Each assessment contains 20–40 structured questions, rated on a 1–5 scale:
    • 1 = Ad-hoc or undefined
    • 2 = Emerging
    • 3 = Defined and repeatable
    • 4 = Managed and measured
    • 5 = Optimized and continuously improving
  3. Receive Your Maturity Score
    Once submitted, our system calculates your overall maturity level along with category-specific insights. The scoring engine leverages our internal performance framework built on Lean Six Sigma, project management, and AI analytics.
  4. Get Personalized Recommendations
    Instantly receive a customized roadmap outlining your recommended next steps—process upgrades, automation opportunities, training focus areas, or financial improvements.
  5. Optional Consultation
    Schedule a strategy session with an AWB advisor to interpret your results and design a targeted improvement plan tailored to your business.
