Demand Generation Health Check

This tool is designed to spark INSIGHT. By self-assessing across the six dimensions, you see where your strengths lie and where gaps may be limiting growth. Recording one positive action and one action to lift your score by a single point transforms the exercise into ACTIVATION - an immediate step forward to making an IMPACT.

Below, you will find six high-level dimensions that are essential to a high-performing Demand Generation Strategy.  Take a moment to honestly assess how you would rate your level of performance in each of the categories.

It will also help you to identify a single action that you are doing well right now. No matter how humble or extensive.

Also, think about how you can improve your score by 1, moving you to the next level. It is great to be ambitious, but also remember to be realistic and relevant at the same time. And then assess the level of perceived effort maintaining and improving this category feels like.

How to Use the Scoring Categories

  • 1 – Foundational: Early stage, little structure in place, activity is ad-hoc.
  • 2 – Emerging: Initial actions underway, but limited consistency and gaps remain.
  • 3 – Developing: Processes forming, some traction and measurable progress.
  • 4 – Advancing: Consistent and repeatable, delivering increasing effectiveness.
  • 5 – Leading: Highly effective, benchmark standard that others would follow.
