If you benchmark from your own midpoint, you’ll always look average, true transformation requires measuring against global standards, not internal comfort zones.
There’s a funny thing that happens when banks start patting themselves on the back: they’re often using their own shoulder as the ruler.
In the cartoon above, the transformation executive looks pretty pleased with himself—after all, by his measurement, he’s a solid “5.” But the actual benchmark, CB RADAR™’s global dataset, tells a more sobering story. When you start measuring from the middle, it’s easy to feel tall… until you realize you’re standing in a hole.
And if you want to benchmark your own institution’s readiness against the market, you can also try our Core Banking Transformation Readiness Scorecard, which helps you see how your bank stacks up against the themes revealed in CB RADAR™.
CB RADAR™ is not a vendor pitch. It’s a reality check. And in a market where every decision carries long-term consequences, clarity is your strongest advantage.
