By evaluating it's maturity, an organization is properly prepared for strategic planning that renders continuous improvement, maximum valuation, and sustainable growth.

Age doesn't equal maturity. As a 40 year old organization with national market share, we realized we were still very immature. This prevented us from being profitable and ultimately kept us from achieving our purpose as an organization.

Q's & A's about The Holistic Maturity Model™

Get a better understanding of how you can use The Holistic Maturity Model™ to gain clarity and confidence in your strategic pursuits.

What is a maturity model?

A maturity model is a framework that helps individuals or organizations assess and improve their capabilities in a particular area or domain. Increasing degrees of maturity or proficiency are described along 5-6 predefined stages or levels. These frameworks generally represent the expected evolution or improvement path along the stages. In their simplest forms, maturity models are often depicted as a ladder or a series of steps, with each level building upon the previous one.

How does this maturity model help my organization?

The HMM™ assists executives and managing teams in understanding where to purposefully invest in organizational development. By assessing against a maturity model, leaders can see areas that may prevent growth, sustainability, and value creation.

What will I be able to do with the Holistic Maturity Model™?

The primary use of the HMM™ is to facilitate strategic dialogue. Team members can participate in self-assessment of the organization to see how maturity is perceived across the organization. This can uncover differences in priorities and assist leaders in reorienting strategic alignment. The model can also be used for a common language and visual aid to support strategic communication.
