A Collaboration Maturity Model: Development and Exploratory Application
Imed Boughzala, Gert‐Jan de Vreede · 2012
This paper presents a Collaboration Maturity Model (Col-MM) to assess an organization's team collaboration quality. The Col-MM is intended to be sufficiently generic to be applied to any type of collaboration and useable by practitioners for con-ducting self-assessments. The Col-MM was developed during a series of Focus Group meetings with professional collaboration experts. The model was piloted and subsequently applied in the automotive industry. This paper reports on the development and first field application of the Col-MM. The paper further serves as a starting point for future research in this area.
