Reconsidering Models Of Organizational Transformation Maturity
Main Article Content
Abstract
Organizational culture encompasses a set of characteristics, including norms, routines, and unspoken rules that dictate how activities are conducted within an organization. The maturity of an organization's culture can be assessed using various maturity models (MMs), and aligning the organizational culture with an appropriate MM has the potential to accelerate project and business performance. A MM is a descriptive model outlining the stages through which organizations progress as they define, implement, evolve, and enhance their processes. Typically, these stages include the initial level, repeatable level, defined level, managed level, and optimizing level (Becker et al., 2009), illustrating the organization's capacity for continuous improvement.
Maturity models play a crucial role in helping companies understand their current maturity level and guide them in improving specific disciplines. By posing questions and developing action plans, MMs serve as a tool for organizations to assess and enhance their capabilities.
