New to the RAPPID Value Cycle?

Based on the methodology outlined in the Amazon Bestseller, Drive RAPPID Results From Data by Nexus Data's own Zjaén Coetzee and Karl Dinkelmann, CA(SA), our assessment serves as a sharp diagnostic tool, showing how well companies turn data and AI investments into measurable business value.

It identifies gaps, prioritises initiatives, and provides a clear roadmap for improvement.

Why It Matters

Most companies are already spending on data and analytics, but up to 80% of projects fail to deliver real value. That means wasted time, lost investment, and missed opportunities while competitors pull ahead.

The RAPPID Value Cycle Assessment helps you avoid becoming part of that statistic by:
  • Showing you where you stand – Discover if your business is stuck in “reports & dashboards” or positioned for data-driven growth.
  • Pinpointing hidden opportunities – Identify areas where data can unlock new revenue, protect against churn, or cut costs sustainably.
  • Building confidence for investment – Learn how to link analytics directly to ROI so you can secure executive buy-in and avoid wasted spend.
  • Creating a clear roadmap – Get practical recommendations matched to your quadrant in the RAPPID Value Cycle, so you know exactly what steps to take next.
  • Future-proofing your business – Companies that master data-confidence are up to 25% more profitable than their peers.
