If there are maturity models for the technology paradigms IT leaders adopt, wouldn’t it be possible to develop a maturity model for IT Leadership as well? That is, an IT Leadership maturity model that would help CIOs and their lieutenants to measure their current state and chart a path forward for them to improve and become more successful and effective. What would such a maturity model look like? How realistic is it to expect humans to follow a structured path like a maturity model, in order to acquire the competencies and experience suggested by such models? Could a “one size fits all” standard maturity model be created?

Need Both IT Leadership Maturity Model and Business Leadership IT Maturity Model

Just as much as an IT Leadership Maturity model should be feasible and a good idea for CIOs to follow, I think it is equally important to device an IT Maturity Model for Senior management teams of businesses. Success or failure of major IT initiatives such as ERP implementations depends on the IT Awareness of CEOs, Department Heads and senior managers.

Should IT still remain bureaucratic with command and control style management to be successful?
While IT wants to be in the forefront of innovation to help deliver business value, in order to produce predictable results, should it still continue to have bureaucratic decision making with command and control structure?
