Pockets of good practice that don't scale. Cost per asset stays high; execs can't see the operation clearly.
Top three moves
- → Name a single accountable owner for content operations.
- → Standardise one production workflow for your largest content type.

The six pillars
What we score you on.
Each pillar blends behaviour and capability, because owning a tool isn't the same as operating it well.
Governance
Ownership, approval frameworks and operational accountability across the content lifecycle.
Process
Workflow consistency, visibility, planning and collaboration from brief to delivery.
Technology
Tooling, asset management, automation and how well systems integrate into the operating model.
Content Reuse
Tagging, modularity and reuse behaviour that turn every asset into more assets.
Localisation
Translation, adaptation and how efficiently the operation scales across markets and languages.
Measurement
Performance tracking, attribution and using data to improve the operation.
The maturity model
Five stages of maturity.
From reactive to transformational. Every organisation sits somewhere on this curve.
Stage 01
Reactive
Every request feels like a fire drill.
Content is produced on demand with little structure. The priority is to establish ownership and a repeatable core workflow.
Stage 02
Developing
Pockets of good practice that don't scale.
Some structure exists but is inconsistent. The priority is to standardise across teams and markets.
Stage 03
Established
Solid foundations. Room to compound.
Defined ownership and repeatable workflows are in place. The priority is to connect tools, increase reuse, and start measuring outcomes.
Stage 04
Advanced
Scaling efficiently with integrated tooling.
You're scaling well. The priority is automation, deeper localisation, and tightening the loop between measurement and production.
Stage 05
Transformational
Content as a managed supply chain.
Automation, governance and measurement compound to deliver high-value, high-volume content with speed and precision.
Frequently asked
Questions from other executives.
What is content operations maturity?
＋
Content operations maturity measures how effectively an organisation plans, produces, adapts, measures and governs content at scale. Higher maturity means faster time to market, less rework, and content that ties directly to business outcomes across every market and channel.
What do I get at the end?
＋
A 0 to 100 maturity index, your stage from Reactive to Transformational, a six-pillar radar chart of your strengths and gaps, and a prioritised roadmap of the moves that will unlock the most value first. You can download the whole thing as a PDF.
Who is the scorecard for?
＋
CMOs, Content Directors, Marketing Operations and Creative Operations leaders at global or scaling brands with complex content needs. It's a diagnostic you can present to the board, not a tactical checklist, so answers assume you're accountable for operating models rather than individual assets.
What if I don't know the answer to a question?
＋
Every question includes an "I don't know, not visible to me" option. Those responses are excluded from scoring rather than counted as zero. You get an honest picture of what's actually visible from where you sit.
Is my data private?
