Assess the Maturity of Your Organization?
The Implementation Maturity Framework can be applied in two complementary ways. Organizations may refer to the questions outlined on this site as a point of departure for internal benchmarking and evaluation, using them to guide discussions and assess current levels of maturity across key areas.
Alternatively, for a more structured approach, organizations can use our interactive assessment tool, which provides additional guidance, instructions, and support to help evaluate maturity in a consistent and informed manner.
