Change is inevitable, but success isn’t. Research shows that up to 70% of business change initiatives fail—but not with the right approach. Incremental Change Management Maturity Model (ICM3) helps your organisation take its first step toward a seamless, sustainable transformation.
ICM3 is a simple yet powerful framework designed to assess the real maturity of your team or organisation. It’s the perfect starting point before diving into more complex maturity models. Whether you’re managing large-scale projects or incremental changes, ICM3 provides a clear path to ensuring your organisation is prepared for sustainable, successful change.
At this stage, every project in your portfolio has a clear foundation. Core documents—like a project charter, plan, budget, and risk assessment—are standardised and accessible through a central management point (e.g., your PMO). It’s not exhaustive but lays the groundwork with essential details for consistency.
Take your documentation to the next level. At this maturity stage, the format and content of all project documents are consistent and comprehensive. Your teams follow established processes and accountabilities, ensuring that projects across the board deliver regular, reliable reporting at both the individual and portfolio level.
Ready for automation? Here, semi-automated reporting tools streamline performance tracking, ensuring deadlines are met, and compliance is achieved. Your team knows how to use central reporting tools effectively, and the data speaks for itself: on-time, accurate reporting for confident decision-making. Ensuring sustainable success.
When you’ve mastered all aspects of Better Practice, your organisation is prepared for greater complexity.
