According to Gartner, the innovation maturity model is structured into five maturity levels:
- Reactive
- Active
- Defined
- Performing
- Persuasive
For the organizations to progress, Gartner further breaks down the levels of innovation into further 6 categories:
- Strategy and Intent : Enterprises show their intent by having their leaders come up with various strategic plans that focus towards innovation.
- Processes and Practices : having a formal set of process enables the leaders of the organization to facilitate innovative ideas, in other ways, having a more organized, quantitative way of creating scenarios for innovation.
- Culture and People : Understanding the social behavior is very important, especially during innovation, and when the organization diverse culture is an influential factor.
- Organization and Infrastructure : Important to support and help facilitate the innovators within the organization.
- Partnerships : Having partnerships with the outside organizations that promote the idea of innovation is very critical for the success of the organization.
- Open Innovation :
I agree with the Gartner article, that while applying these maturity models, enterprise architects should keep in mind the following;
- mature management should constantly work on improving there processes to come up with innovation all the time
- Enterprises and their parent companies should make every effort to determine if innovation is is managed locally versus centrally.
