Premium Diagnostic

One perspective is never
the full picture

Deep tech readiness varies dramatically by role. When strategy, finance, and technology leaders hold different assumptions, execution stalls; often not because of capability gaps, but because of misalignment. The Multi-Stakeholder Diagnostic surfaces exactly that.

Why it matters

What changes when you assess a leadership team, not just one leader

The individual DTMI score captures a single executive's perception of deep tech readiness. In practice, the CEO, CTO, and CFO often hold fundamentally different assessments: different levels of conviction, different interpretations of the same pilot outcome, and different risk tolerances.

The Multi-Stakeholder Diagnostic maps those differences across six capability dimensions and surfaces the misalignments that matter most for execution. It answers a different question: not "how ready is this organisation?" but "where are the leadership gaps that will determine whether deep tech investments succeed or stall?"

1

Surface hidden misalignment

Identify where leaders hold contradictory assumptions about readiness before those contradictions surface in failed pilots.

2

Prioritise with confidence

Focus resources on the capability gaps that represent real organisational blockers, not just individual perception gaps.

3

Build executive alignment

Use diagnostic data to facilitate a structured leadership conversation rather than an opinion-based one.

How misalignment looks in practice

Each cell shows one leader's normalised score (0-100) for a capability dimension. High spread between roles signals misalignment risk.

Spread: 44 points. The CFO believes the budget infrastructure is adequate. The CTO, who interacts directly with suppliers, rates it significantly lower. This gap predicts procurement friction in live pilots even when leadership believes funding is resolved.

How it works

Delivery format

1

Individual assessments

Each leader completes the DTMI questionnaire independently in under 20 minutes. No briefing required.

2

Aggregate analysis

DTI compares responses across roles to compute alignment scores and identify the highest-spread dimensions.

3

Executive readout

We present findings in a structured 60-minute session with the sponsor and optionally the full leadership team.

Participants

Who should be involved

The diagnostic is designed for 2–5 senior leaders whose roles shape how deep tech investments are funded, resourced, and evaluated. Typical participants:

CEO / MD

CFO / Finance Director

CTO / CTIO

Head of Strategy

Head of Innovation
