Researching a company or assessing your own company and figuring out where its gaps and opportunities are can take a significant amount of time. The FLASH Maturity Assessment is a free, online, self-serve tool available to SAP employees, partners and customers from Global Value Advisory that helps you conduct strategic company capability discovery and benchmarking faster. It aims to accelerate and influence customer engagement and understanding while generating valuable company insights through industry thought leadership based on best practice data around the world.

There are two FLASH models:

  • FLASH Enterprise assesses companies at a broad level from end to end with 15 questions that can be completed in less than 20 minutes. Enterprise is available for 7 industries: Retail, Consumer Products, Wholesale Distribution, Industrial Manufacturing, Utilities, Automotive and Telecommunications.  
  • FLASH Focus assesses companies across one or more in-depth industry and line-of-business topic modules. Retail is the first industry model available. Each module takes less than 15 minutes to complete. Customers can request access to take FLASH Focus with an SAP expert advisor or partner. 

In summary, FLASH will allow you to:

    • Identify a company's business gaps and business opportunities
    • Generate insights about where a company should prioritize its transformation areas 
    • Deliver best practices with strategic recommendations to drive valuable business outcomes

FLASH features an unprecedented model that automatically scores, calculates, and measures companies against industry benchmarks to deliver an immediate, personalized report showing business maturity, areas for improvement, and how to improve them. Following are visuals from the tool:
