What other aspects should organizations consider when adopting the BAMM as a road map?
The BAMM alone isn’t sufficient for organizations to realize increased proficiency and competency, as well as business agility and cost savings, to name two. Much of the effort involved in moving upward through the model requires increasing the skill levels of individuals within an organization. Skill development is best accomplished with a combination of training and mentoring. Training helps establish a common set of base knowledge. Mentoring helps build mastery of the skills for key individuals that can evolve into a core set of leaders within the organization. The combination of a vision based upon the BAMM along with an appropriate program of training and mentoring are the essential ingredients in helping an organization capture the organizational agility and cost benefits that lie within Levels 4 and 5 of the maturity model.
