About this episode
The episode discusses the role of maturity models in assessing risks and readiness in digital transformation.
A good maturity model doesn’t tell you how advanced you are—it tells you what risks you’re carrying and what you should do next. There maybe some skepticism out there on the value of maturity models and assessments; however, this is not just consultant-speak . A maturity model is a structured way to answer one of the hardest questions in digital transformation: What are we ready for—and what are we not ready foryet?
