IT Framework (IT-CMF)
The gold standard for the management of IT Value and IT-Enabled Innovation.
The IT Capability Maturity Framework is a framework specifically created to derive real, measurable business value from IT. It helps organisations devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently and consistently.
IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF)
Organisations, both public and private, are constantly challenged to innovate and generate real value.
CIOs are uniquely well-positioned to meet these challenges and to adopt the role of business transformation partner, helping their organisations to grow and prosper with innovative, IT-enabled products, services, and processes.
The IT function needs to manage an array of discrete but interdependent disciplines focused on the generation of IT-enabled agility, innovation and value. IT-CMF helps organisations devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently and consistently.

IT-CMF & Other Frameworks
IT-CMF acts as a unifying (or umbrella) framework that complements other domain-specific frameworks already in use in the organisation, helping to resolve conflicts between them, and filling gaps in their coverage.
Organisations that are already using other frameworks or approaches in discrete areas of their operation can use IT-CMF to integrate them into a coherent whole and to fill in any gaps between them.
When used in this way, IT-CMF provides a holistic view that facilitates the identification of any weaknesses in the value delivery chain, and helps drive improvement.
