Are You Ready to Transform Your Core Business System? Take the Free Readiness Assessment

Upgrading a core business system, whether CRM, HR, or finance platform, can be transformational. But it’s also one of the biggest risks organisations face if they dive into change without understanding their readiness first.

That’s where Dog and Bone’s System-Change Readiness Assessment comes in - a practical, expert-led tool to help your organisation understand its true readiness for system change before you commit time, money or people.

Why Readiness Matters

Change readiness encompasses people, processes, leadership alignment and organisational capability. 

Dog and Bone’s assessment focuses on real-world challenges that often derail system change, from unclear requirements and poor decision-making to hidden vendor risk, cost overruns and internal misalignment.

What You Get from the Assessment

This isn’t a technical audit. It’s a business-led readiness check built for leaders who are actively thinking about changing a core system. Participants get:

• A Readiness Report
  Complete a short business survey and receive an individualised readiness report valued at $995, designed to highlight your strengths, gaps and priority areas for action. 
• 1-Hour Pro Bono Consultation
  Participants are invited to a 1-hour Q&A session with one of Dog and Bone’s technology experts to unpack the results and clarify next steps.
• Interactive Group Workshop
  Participants can join a workshop with peers and experts to share experiences and deepen their understanding of readiness best practices.
• Pro Bono Project Opportunity
  One eligible organisation will be chosen for a pro bono scoped project to begin work on key findings from their assessment - a chance to advance system change with expert support – for free.

Who Should Take Part

This offer is tailored for not-for-profit and purpose-driven organisations who:

• Are actively exploring or planning a system change
• Employ 15 or more staff
• Operate in sectors like charity, healthcare, local government or social enterprise and who want to make informed, confident decisions before investing in transformation.

It’s ideal for senior business leaders who are accountable for the systems in question, such as Heads of HR, Operations, Programs or Technology, and who understand how these systems support day-to-day operations. 

Take a Smarter Approach to System Change

By taking this readiness assessment, you’ll gain actionable insights into where your organisation is truly prepared, and where it’s not yet ready, giving you the ability to move forward with confidence.
