The stage-by-stage 12-month plan that complements the MICE Procurement Automation Maturity Model. One page per stage, with prerequisites, the next move, and the exit criteria that tell you when you have actually crossed.
Email-gated. We send the PDF in one email, then add you to the weekly Easy RFP procurement digest. Unsubscribe in one click, any time.
The PDF is not a read-cover-to-cover document. It is a stage-specific reference. Run the 12-question diagnostic first, identify your stage, then open the matching page. Each stage page has the same structure: where you are, the three prerequisites that should already be in place, the next move with a 12-month sequence, and the exit criteria that signal you have actually crossed to the next stage.
Pages are intentionally short. The roadmap is the spine; the depth lives in the linked posts. The procurement checklist for tool selection is the 27-question procurement filter. The migration sequence sits in the migration checklist. The ROI defensibility for the procurement-board conversation is in the ROI methodology post. The CIPS digital procurement framework that underpins the model is publicly available at the CIPS site.
If you are scoring yourself a Stage 3 or above and the diagnostic disagrees, the PDF expands on the most common over-scoring trap: counting "the tool can do it" as "the team does it". Capability the team does not use does not count toward stage.
