The Executive Diagnostic and Governance Toolkit

Assessing and Evidencing Competitive Pricing Work

Score your own function red, amber or green, find out which part is weakest, and walk into the next budget round able to defend what you want to fix. Built for leaders reviewing they already hold the competitive pricing - simple steps to win playbook: the implementation guide, the roadmap and the working files, so repeating any of that is worthless. What is missing is the layer after implementation. How to assess the function honestly, what evidence to retain, how to score maturity, and how to put the result in front of a manager, an auditor or a client who was not involved. The immediate question: for one month of competitive pricing - simple steps to win work, can you show what was measured, against what target, and what changed as a result.

What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You've executed competitive pricing perfectly — now prove it to someone who wasn't in the room.

The situation this is built for

You hold the implementation playbook, roadmap, and working files. You’ve run the process. But when a manager, auditor, or client asks, 'What changed and how do you know?' — you’re left scrambling for structured evidence. There’s no guide for what to measure, how to score maturity, or how to present the impact clearly. The work is done, but the proof isn’t.

Who this is for

The practitioner responsible for owning and reporting on competitive pricing outcomes after implementation

Who this is not for

Those looking for implementation tools, pricing algorithms, or vendor comparisons

What you walk away with

  • Demonstrate measurable changes in pricing performance
  • Build a defensible evidence file for review
  • Score your pricing function’s maturity objectively
  • Communicate results clearly to stakeholders
  • Turn execution into documented business impact

How this maps to your situation

  • You’ve implemented pricing changes and need to prove they mattered
  • You must report to someone who didn’t see the work unfold
  • You’re preparing for an audit or leadership review
  • You want to institutionalize pricing accountability

Before vs. after

Before
You have the implementation assets but no framework to prove their impact or maturity.
After
You can produce a clear, evidence-based account of what changed, how it was measured, and why it matters.

If nothing changes
Without structured assessment and evidence, your pricing work remains invisible to decision-makers, vulnerable to challenge, and difficult to scale.

How this compares to the alternatives

Public templates lack specificity. Vendor tools focus on implementation, not evidence. This course delivers a structured, field-tested method to assess and report on pricing work that you can adapt and own.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)
