The Open Digital Maturity Model (ODMM) is a key resource for the Open ROADS Community.

Based on the outcome of an ODMM assessment, the assessed organization can then define a pathway to become a DSP(digital service provider) in the mode its strategy and aspirations dictate.

It also provides a basis for further Capability Mapping and transformation implementation projects (although these fall outside the remit of the ODMM).

Consists of

• A secure scoring tool that allows an accredited assessor to score the assessed organization across metrics and generate an assessment against its own aspirations, and other benchmarks

• Accreditation process and management, defined in the ODMM Assessor Accreditation document

• Quality control processes, defined in the ODMM Assessor Accreditation document

• Roles, obligations relating to those roles and other ‘terms of use’ defined in the other governance documents: ODMM Model for Change Control, ODMM Model for Data Disclosure, ODMM Obligations on Assessors and Businesses document

Categories and rationale

The ODMM identifies the steps required for an enterprise to achieve its digital business aspirations, and ranks its current capabilities along six dimensions, or Categories, developed by a cross-functional Working Group of Open ROADS Community members.

Each Category (known in the ODMM taxonomy as Level One) comprises a critical suite of digital capabilities: a group of relevant processes, practices, capabilities and assets—which include technology, human capital, knowledge and finance—to be assessed and measured. Together, the six Categories represent the successful DSP’s portfolio of its technology, talent, processes and strategies.

The group of capabilities and processes within each Level One Category is further broken down into Level Two—largely statements of organizational attributes; this is represented in the chart below.
