Before investing in architecture improvement, you need an honest, independent view of where your practice stands today. Our structured maturity assessment gives you that - with clear evidence, benchmarks, and a prioritised improvement roadmap.
Request an AssessmentMany organisations have architecture functions that are either too theoretical to influence delivery, or too operational to provide strategic direction. Our EA Maturity Assessment identifies exactly where the gaps are across people, process, tooling, and governance.
Using an industry-aligned framework, we assess your current-state EA capability across six dimensions: strategy alignment, stakeholder engagement, governance, tooling, delivery integration, and practice sustainability. We benchmark findings against comparable organisations in your sector.
The output is not a report on a shelf - it is a prioritised, sequenced improvement plan with clear actions, owners, and success metrics that your team can start executing immediately.

The jump from a document-producing EA function to one that genuinely influences technology decisions is harder than it looks. We explore the common blockers and how to overcome them.
Many enterprises believe governance improves when they buy the right tool.
Most delays in AI governance don't come from policy - they come from disconnect.

Learn moreAn EA maturity assessment takes 4 to 6 weeks. The first 1 to 2 weeks cover stakeholder interviews and surveys. The middle weeks cover scoring, benchmarking and gap analysis. The final week delivers the improvement roadmap and an executive readout. The number of business units and stakeholders sets where a project falls in that range.
An EA maturity assessment measures architecture capability across 6 dimensions. The dimensions are strategy alignment, stakeholder engagement, governance, tooling, delivery integration and practice sustainability. Each dimension receives a maturity score backed by evidence. Co Valere benchmarks the scores against comparable organisations in the same sector and size band.
Co Valere uses an industry-aligned maturity framework that draws on TOGAF ADM, the Gartner EA Maturity Model and CMMI. FEAF and the Zachman Framework inform the scoring where a client already uses them. The framework is adapted to each organisation. The scores remain comparable with recognised industry models.
At the end of an EA maturity assessment, you receive a scored current-state view, a gap analysis and a prioritised improvement roadmap. Each recommendation has an action, an owner and a success metric. You also receive an executive readout for CIO, CTO and board stakeholders. Your team can start the first actions immediately.
EA maturity typically improves by 2 levels within 18 months of following the recommended roadmap. The gain depends on how consistently the roadmap is executed. Co Valere can support delivery through its EA management and governance service. A repeat assessment measures progress against the original baseline.
