Welcome to WorkforceMaturity.com, the Integral People CMM discussion platform!

This site is still under construction and will over time be extended with information, experiences and best practices about improving organizational maturity and climate.

Our focus area will be the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM). Although this model was developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) as a complement to the various maturity CMMI models for software engineering and services we believe it deserves much wider attention than the current general acceptance in technical organizations. In our opinion HR professionals in any sector could benefit from this model for assessing and improving workforce management process maturity.
The People CMM model offers a very powerful and pragmatic road map for improving the efficiency, effectiveness and climate of organizations. Since its release in 1995, thousands of copies of the People CMM have been distributed, and it is used world-wide by organizations, small and large, such as IBM, Boeing, BAE Systems, Tata Consultancy Services, Ericsson, Lockheed Martin and QAI (India) Ltd. We hope this site will contribute to the use of the model and to the resulting increased maturity of workforce management processes.
