  Strengths Weaknesses

Training Effective presentation of content Strong practitioner organizations

Focus on the individual rather than the collective.Focus on content and technology delivery rather than learner context.

Four Maturity Stages

Maturity Element

1. Absent 2. Isolated 3. Connected 4. Integrated

Strategic Perspective

None Point solutions Cross-organisational impact

Whole ecosystem improvement

Structure & Staff

Ad hoc projects, no dedicated staff

Hostile KM and L&D teams, turf wars

Project-based L&K co-operation

Integrated, cross-skilled L&K teams

Methods Ad hoc Uncoordinated use of methods, little experimentation

Opportunistic use of old & new methods

Use of broad suit of methods tailored to organisational need

Technology Whatever Incompatible technologies. Heavy content focus.

Use of collaborative tools to link multiple work / learning environments

Agile & responsive toolset with appropriate innovation

Maturity

Is there anything that is missing from the maturity model?

How would you rate your organization (or one of your recent acquaintance) against the four elements?

How does your organization compare with your neighbour's?
