CAID™ Diagnostic

The ability to exercise commercially sound judgments has a major impact on the performance and profitability of teams, functions and business units.

The SIA Group Commercial Awareness Index (CAID™) Diagnostic Tool helps organisations to identify areas for developing the commercial awareness of teams and organisations quickly and accurately. It allows you to target your development budget more effectively on specific issues that will really make a difference in terms of raising commercial awareness. 

  • SIA Group's CAID™ examines 9 key commercial awareness indicators - vital factors that affect commercial performance on a daily basis.
  • The responses form the basis of a comprehensive report which is prepared for the team leader and fed back by an SIA Group consultant, ensuring that any development areas are highlighted and discussed.
  • The report contains three levels of detail and enables very specific improvement opportunities to be identified so that development budgets can be targeted at precise issues that will help to improve commercial awareness.
  • The process is simple and quick to complete and is managed entirely by SIA Group, meaning that no additional demands are made on the client's internal resources.
  • The information is collected electronically and anonymously, enabling respondents to be completely honest in their responses, thus providing an accurate picture of the actual situation within the team.
