IT Capability Maturity Framework | IT-CMF

Course details

The IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) is a unique end-to-end framework that:

• Maps IT organisations onto a capability maturity curve based on empirically derived industry best practice across 35 different capabilities of IT management
• Provides practices, outcomes and metrics to improve capability maturity and therefore consistency of output
• Enables organisations to assess and benchmark performance over time
• Enables creation of roadmaps with actionable metrics to improve maturity with best practice guidelines
• Provides capability accelerators and building blocks for improvement
• The IPA in partnership with the Innovation Value Institute (IVI) at NUI Maynooth is pleased to offer training to the public service in the IT-CMF through a three day course in Managing IT for Business Value.
• Designed for CIOs and senior IT decision-makers, this course focuses on optimising the IT business value contribution to the organisation using practical methodologies, IT-CMF tools & case studies, and discussing how to establish and manage IT for business value in organisations.

Innovation Value Institute (IVI)

The Innovation Value Institute (IVI) was co-founded in 2006 by the National University of Ireland Maynooth, (NUIM) and Intel to help drive the transformation of IT management. The goal is to create a global gold standard for IT management. To achieve this goal, the Innovation Value Institute researches, develops, and disseminates empirically proven and industry validated IT best practice through a unique open collaboration between leading academic and industry practitioners. Through its consortium, IVI facilitates a collaborative community of like-minded peers committed to investigating, advancing and disseminating the frameworks, tools and best practices associated with managing IT Value and IT enabled Innovation. IVI is currently focused on extending the development and dissemination of the IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF) through partners such as the IPA.

Since its inception in 2006, the IT-CMF has been used by a variety of global organisations to solve a range of capability issues including:

• IT capability measurement and improvement
• IT organisational design and capability management
• IT business alignment and leadership
• Organisation benchmarking and best practice
• IT risk management
• Cloud computing (including services innovation and outsourcing)
