Maturity Models

There are ten ‘maturity models’ (Appendix 1). These models will:

Enable us to develop a ‘gap analysis’ against recognised widely accepted models of best practice.
Provide a roadmap to becoming a leading practice organisation.
Allow measurement and benchmarking of internal progress.
Assist our explanations of these organisational concepts to all colleagues, leaders, volunteers and Members.

We have developed our models through a consultation process where everyone was invited in be involved. The consultation focused on:

Validating the language within the models ensuring common understanding and relevance.
Collectively evaluating the organisation’s current level of competence/maturity in each specified area.
Collectively identifying the organisational aspiration level over the next 1-4 years, which then drives the key aims and activities of our ‘people plan’.

Looking forward we intend to use these maturity levels to measure the success of the ‘people plan’ over the next four years.

So how does this all come together? Remember our triangle?

Our activities and our maturity models will support us achieving our aims. The work we undertake will enable us to get to the next maturity model level which in turn supports us to achieve our overarching strategic aims.
