Why High Maturity?

In the current business world companies are starting to make more effective use of data. Companies are investing heavily in analytics to drive their business, convinced that data and data-driven insights are the key to future success. Many companies look to Google and Amazon as examples of effective data driven companies. Yet despite the enthusiasm, budgets, and resources directed to analytics, most projects are not able to scale, with many failing to meet expectations.

According to Gartner research, only 20% of analytics insights will deliver business outcomes through 2022. Because most companies are not following a set of established best practices, operating instead from a mostly haphazard and unproven playbook.

This is where CMMI High Maturity shines! In high maturity organizations the measurement system is based on consistently following a defined set of processes that is quantitatively managed and the organization understands the linkage between process performance and business outcomes. CMMI Maturity Levels 4 and 5 are high maturity levels. There is a clear difference between high maturity organizations, which demonstrate quantitative management and optimizing behaviors, and lower maturity organizations, which manage by just following defined processes. Higher maturity organizations demonstrate lower variability in processes and often use leading indicators as part of a statistically defensible management method. As a result, higher maturity organizations tend to be both more predictable and faster at responding to market changes.

    Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying About Us

    BTI succeeds in its mission when an organization is measurably better in a way that makes a real difference, is able to sustain the change for the better, knows that it is better, and is satisfied with the result.

    Business Transformation Institute, Inc. (BTI) joined in partnership with Raytheon SAS to help us bring together many diverse business units and to stabilize and improve our performance.  Throughout the years we have worked together and achieved CMMI Maturity Level 5 while bringing together geographically and process diverse units. This has allowed us to have a much higher fluidity in our staff and contract execution locations without suffering performance degradation.  Also, BTI has led the way in choreographing novel appraisal methodologies that have significantly reduced the cost of maintaining CMMI certification and ensuring that the programs do not suffer “set-back” during the gap between certification renewals.

    CNI was going to graduate from the federal government’s 8(a) program.  We had to be prepared to compete. Part of this is having good processes.  BTI helped us to do it.

    I was fortunate to work with the BTI team on deploying the CMMI Level 2 practice at Western Union. There were a number of obstacles in garnering top-down changes and support everyone that the team was able to work through and make it successful.

    Implementing CMMI practices and procedures in an unstructured environment is surely difficult, but the BTI team was able to see the big picture and also make sure that the details were correctly addressed and implemented.

    I highly recommend the BTI team!
