The 994+ Requirements Workbook

The self-assessment workbook is organized across seven process areas: strategy alignment, technology integration, content management, data governance, campaign execution, performance measurement, and team enablement. Practitioners use it to systematically evaluate current capabilities, identify gaps, and build prioritized improvement plans. Example questions include: "Do proximity campaigns undergo privacy impact assessment before launch?", "Are beacon signal strengths tested weekly at all active locations?", and "Is there a documented process for updating message content when promotions change?" Each requirement is phrased as a verifiable yes/no or evidence-based item to support objective evaluation.

The 20+ Templates

The toolkit includes editable templates in Excel and Word for campaign briefs, opt-in consent logs, device calibration checklists, message approval forms, performance dashboards, rollout timelines, stakeholder communication plans, and compliance audit records. These artifacts are designed to be reused across multiple campaigns and adapted to different locations or business units. All templates are provided in standard office formats for immediate use without proprietary software requirements.

Course Outcomes and Certification

Upon completion, you will have produced 3 concrete deliverables built using the toolkit: a completed maturity assessment with gap analysis, a 30-day rollout plan for a defined proximity campaign, and a performance report generated from the pre-filled dashboard.
