Organizational level

Organizational level

The capability maturity models included in this section are relevant for an enterprise's corporate view. They can be accessed independently or as part of the Integrated Performance Maturity Model. Each framework is comprehensive, providing an in-depth scan of the capability targeted. However, when assessed together, additional insights related to alignment and synergies are revealed.

All GPAU Maturity Models share the same assessment methodology.

The GPAU Accredited Assessor scores the entity based on documents review and interview findings, while the internal stakeholders will share their scores through survey.
