    New Tool: NDC12 Readiness Plan

    After many discussions with various industry leaders regarding NDC12, I realized that most organizations don’t actually know where NDC12 will break them. They have opinions and assumptions, but they don’t have a common way to understand the challenge ahead.

    Very few can answer one simple question:

    Are we Ready?

    So I built a simple NDC12 Readiness Plan to help teams answer the question.

    It’s not a scorecard or a sales pitch. It’s a practical tool to surface complexity and start the right conversations inside your organization.

    What It Does

    The assessment helps identify tasks and risks tied to NDC12 across your organization. You assign confidence levels to each task to explore best and worst case timelines for readiness.

    I’ve prepopulated an example assessment to help you get started.

    And yes, it’s free.
