SCiO Organisational Maturity Model

The Organisational Maturity Model (OMM) has been developed by SCiO. It is driven by a questionnaire and is designed to show the structural integrity of your organisation (currently from a single user perspective). The OMM allows managers to improve the capability of their organisation to operate more effectively and adapt to change. It does this by providing a framework to develop the structural integrity of the organisation. For an individual having an explanation of the systemic causes of the problems faced can suggest alternative ways forward. The OMM provides reassurance about aspects of the organisation that are working well and insights into those aspects of your working life that are caused by the system rather than individuals.

Who should use this?

  • If you want to assess the strengths and weaknesses in your organisation's structure
  • If you sense your organisation is not running as effectively as it might
  • If you are concerned about the long term viability of your organisation
  • If you sense that actions being taken are 'treating' symptoms rather than the underlying causes

. . . . . then you will find The Organisational Maturity Model useful. The Organisational Maturity Model is based on the Viable Systems Model. This release is limited to a single user version with 24 questions available as a web based or paper versions for you to choose from (see right and below). The OMM has proved remarkably powerful in testing, despite the 24 question limitation. Contact us if you are interested in an enterprise version.
