Reality of Maturity Models

'Scoring' with Maturity Models(MM) from my last post and blog. Honestly, no one gets a 5! Most companies are in the 2.5 range and aspire to get to 3.5 – 4. There are many types of MM’s used in business today. E.g. Progression, capability and hybrid - I like Hybrid. We’ve done MM’s with OCM, DAM, E-comm, Retail CX and Marketing Ops. MM's really shine when you make it visual, add a color schema or graphics… this helps tell the story and quickly connect different audiences to understand what is going on. If done right, you can get an organization to understand where they are in the model and what attributes they need to check off to get to the next level.

Some brands have taken their MM’s to another level where they will form teams… a Purple belt or Green belt working on achieving that next level e.g. Six Sigma black belt.

E-comm / M-comm Paradigm Shift!

As the new normal starts to mature, we all are forced to innovate. We are seeing a tremendous amount of activity with CPG / FMCG … readying themselves for Mobile purchases. Modernize and win on the digital shelf. .

 NRF 2020 VISION, NYC

In retail, vision isn't something you have, it's something you do. A course of action. A plan of attack. A way of working that not only predicts the future, but creates it - one day at a time. That kind of vision isn't easy to find, but this year of all years it's worth taking a closer look.   NRF 2020: Retail's Big Show. It's the one place where we all come together to see beyond what is, to reveal what could be. Plotting a vision for where we're going by learning from where we've been.
