Maturity

When is a company ready for digitalization – the concept of "digital maturity"?

Definition:
Digital maturity can be evaluated as a measurable indicator, but it is not simply a KPI. It is much more a complex status indicator composed of many factors.

Assessing Maturity: The assessment and identification of digital maturity take place across multiple areas of the organization. Beyond the main indicator (which is more than just a KPI), the examined factors can yield additional results from which further conclusions and outputs should (and must) be drawn. Therefore, digital maturity does not only reflect technological advancement or readiness, but also the level and quality of collaboration between people and technology. Importantly, maturity can and should be improved. As the company develops, it must continuously evaluate its progress and introduce additional supportive, developmental steps.

Ultimate Goal: The ultimate goal is to achieve a corporate structure that understands its customers and can generate returning clients for itself, while being able to utilize all available IT tools and systems to support this. Such an organization is capable of influencing the market—perhaps even reshaping it—by pursuing the right strategies. This company knows its customers and its employees, can bring out the best in them, and can motivate performance that elevates the organization to the top—and sustains that position in the long term (career and performance model).
