The Design Maturity Diagnostic

The Design Maturity Diagnostic
The Design Maturity Diagnostic — free self-assessment, 10 minutes

Most design functions have talented people. What they lack is proof of where they actually stand — not where they hope to be.

Built on a framework shaped by nine years in design roles at two FTSE 100 businesses — including the contrast between one where design reported to the CEO, and one where it didn't. Ten questions, scored in ten minutes.

  • Why is Product and Engineering constantly clashing?
  • Why isn't research shaping decisions?
  • Why do teams keep rebuilding the same thing?

If any of that sounds familiar, the cause is usually structural — and structural problems are diagnosable. One question at a time, go back anytime, and your score — plus where it lands on the five-stage Design Maturity Ladder — is revealed the moment you finish. Enter your details then to see it, and that's it: no account, no spam, no list.

That's the diagnostic done. Enter your details to see your score.

We'll only use this to send your result and, if you book a call, to prepare for it. No spam, no list.

What this is, and what it isn't

This is a self-assessment — accurate as far as it goes, but built on one perspective. The paid version replaces guesswork with evidence:

  • Interviews across design, product, engineering, and an executive sponsor
  • The same four lenses, assessed properly — not self-reported
  • A written report and a prioritised fix list, not just a score

I deliver these personally, so I only take on a handful each month.

Optional — answer a few quick questions now and we'll come prepared instead of spending the first ten minutes asking them.
