The trouble with maturity models...
• “Bias towards the model I.e. blindfold for context” - Marc Burgauer
• “what works for a ‘mature’ multinational is going to be counter productive for an
‘immature’ 30 person company’ - Adrian Howard
• “they’re suggesting a poor learning order, usually reflecting what’s easier to what’s
harder” - JasonYip

• Emerging - we are trying this out

But remember...
"the map is not the territory" and "the word is not the thing"... an abstraction
derived from something, or a reaction to it, is not the thing itself.
Don’t confuse models of reality with reality itself.
