Maturity model example

Do you need maturity models to evaluate progress in capabilities and behaviour?

My wife Lotta got a wild horse three months ago and started the basic training with this in mind.

When you buy a ordinary horse, it have aquired a basic set of skills and could be handled by a new owner. On a scale from zero to five, you are on level two or three.

But with a wild horse, never touched by humans before captured, you start on level zero.

If you try to apply methods for traning a breeded horse to a wild horse will you fail. First of all, you have to build trust with the horse by just being near and not touch it.

After three months of daily traing, she was able to sit up an ride.

So the purpose with a maturity model is to understand where to start your ride to progress.

Not that different from digital transformations when you know what you are doing.
