The management question
How reliably can the business turn strategy into repeatable execution?
Operational maturity is the degree to which priorities, accountability, workflows, information and management routines work together without constant intervention from a few individuals.
What to examine
Operational maturity
- Priorities are clear and stable
- Accountability and decision rights are explicit
- Core processes are visible and repeatable
- Management information is timely and trusted
- Management routines lead to action
- Problems are resolved at root cause
