Internet Maturity Model: Moving from Business to E-Business (Level 5)

by John C. Scott

In the first five articles in this series, I identified a maturity model for Internet technology adoption (below). This final article focuses on how companies can move from Level 4 to Level 5. This model parallels the SEI-CMM in that Level-5 organizations continue to develop, continue to measure where they are against industry leaders, and are ever vigilant in their search for new technologies, new methods, and new business models that offer competitive advantage.
