The IT Maturity Method does not require a shift away from how IT and business are being
currently done in an organization, but rather it is a method for maturation of existing IT and business processes. There is no fear factor of tearing up your organization. Just the opposite
occurs, the IT Maturity Method enables better integration of your organization.
It is a method to improve processes incrementally by defining
(documenting) current processes, tracking and measuring those processes, and then tuning and advancing them.
No longer does the executive team need to fear not knowing what is
going on. The IT Maturity Method provides highly effective tracking and measuring tools on not only what is being worked on in the organization; but also how well communication, escalation, delegation
are being done; as well as how problem solving is be broken up and being handled effectively.
The IT Maturity Method does not just define new principles and then
wait for change, it aggressively and assertively tracks and measures to provide feedback to force change.
As opposed to plodding through many different partially applicable courses in Leadership,
Vendor Management, Technology Advancement, and Business/IT integration, pragmatists can take one comprehensive IT course in the IT Maturity Method.
The IT Maturity Method can be used to filter out overly bureaucratic elements of legacy IT
processes such as those of software development and CMMi.
Each of the twenty-seven tools of the ITMM and its four offices provides its own benefits in
defining, tracking, measuring, tuning, and advancing IT and its integration with the business.
