Conclusion

It is important to ensure when you conduct this baseline, you do it well. Your credibility will be, in part, established by how transparent your baselining process is conducted. Ensuring that you communicate the methodology and the plans for sharing the results and to whom up front will help your stakeholders buy into the process. Be candid about the maturity of your team also. By being pragmatic about this process, you can gain credibility to help you design the program you need to lead for your company. Conducting this baseline of your organization is a great launching point by which to establish a credible and critical seat at the proverbial executive table. Take the time to do this well and thoroughly.
