Frequently asked questions about the continuous improvement maturity assessment

What is the CI Team Maturity Assessment and who needs it?

The CI Team Maturity Assessment benchmarks your improvement function across ten critical dimensions including leadership buy-in, team capability and sustainability. CI leaders need it when struggling to demonstrate value, facing budget cuts, or lacking executive support. It provides objective evidence of strengths and gaps, plus a tailored roadmap to strengthen credibility and align CI with business strategy.

How does the CI Team Maturity Assessment differ from other continuous improvement assessments?

Unlike process-level assessments, the CI Team Maturity Assessment evaluates your improvement function's effectiveness as a whole. Our continuous improvement consultants use this framework to assess strategic alignment, leadership engagement, methodology maturity and sustainability, all areas which are often overlooked. You receive actionable insights on strengthening your team's influence, not just technical capability, making your CI function indispensable.

What happens after completing the CI Team Maturity Assessment?

You receive an objective maturity score, detailed analysis across ten dimensions, and a prioritised development roadmap. Many CI leaders use results for continuous improvement performance management, securing executive buy-in, or justifying investment in capability building. Operational excellence consulting firms can provide optional support implementing recommendations, but the assessment delivers immediate value through clarity on where to focus effort for maximum impact.
