What does the Vertical Expertise Third Edition include?
The Vertical Expertise Third Edition includes a 60+ file digital playbook delivered by email within 24 business hours. It contains approximately 30-40 XLSX spreadsheets (calculators, scorecards, dashboards) and 20-30 PDF guides, plus a Platinum Tier section with six core files: a master operations playbook, a 90-day adoption roadmap, an implementation template, an anti-pattern catalogue, an outcomes dashboard, and an incident-response runbook. Additional sections cover self-assessment, requirements, models, processes, performance, governance, sustainment, advanced topics and quick reference cards.
Are you still navigating projects without a clear view of your organisation’s Vertical Expertise maturity? The risk of missed gaps, stalled transformation, and costly re-work is real - failed audits, lost contracts and competitive lag can all stem from an incomplete self-assessment. The Vertical Expertise Third Edition eliminates that risk by delivering a ready-to-use, 60+ file digital playbook that lets you diagnose, prioritise and close capability gaps in minutes, not weeks.
