Leveling Up: Five Real-World Examples of Incremental Maturity
Presenter: Tony Appleby - PMI Ethics Advisory Committee Member
While maturity models are very prevalent in today’s business world, they are frequently better understood in theory than they are in practice. In this session, the presenter walks the reader through five examples of how maturity models have been effectively employed in different industries across the globe. The models covered include diverse disciplines including business processes; sales and marketing; information technology; governance; and – of course – project, program, and portfolio management. The presentation will guide the participant through the opportunities and the challenges experienced by each organization when employing a maturity model and the benefits ultimately achieved as a result of their investments. Moreover, critical learnings are discussed to help the session attendee understand best practices associated with the use of maturity models.
The intent of this hour long presentation is to provide an overview of the structure of maturity models in general, help the session attendee understand some practical activities associated with employing a maturity model, and demonstrate how different maturity models have been employed in different organizations and the results those entities realized afterwards.
