Trang 2• Then People CMM can help you
Trang 4• The People CMM employs the process
maturity framework of the highly successful Capability Maturity Model for Software (SWCMM) as a foundation for a model of best
practices for managing and developing an
organization's workforce
Trang 5• Based on the best current practices in fields
such as human resources, knowledge
management, and organizational development, the People CMM guides organizations in
improving their processes for managing and
developing their workforce
Trang 7• Since its release in 1995, thousands of copies
of the People CMM have been distributed, and
it is used worldwide by organizations, small and large, such as IBM, Boeing, BAE
Systems, Tata Consultancy Services, Ericsson, Lockheed Martin and QAI (India) Ltd
Trang 8• The People CMM evolutionary improvement path guides movement from an ad hoc
Trang 9– integrate competence growth with process
improvement
– establish a culture of workforce excellence
Trang 12• In order to measure and improve capability,
the workforce in most organizations must be divided into its constituent workforce
competencies
• Each workforce competency represents a
unique integration of knowledge, skills, and
process abilities acquired through specialized education or work experience
Trang 13• Strategically, an organization wants to design its workforce to include the various workforce competencies required to perform the business activities underlying its core competencies
• Each of these workforce competencies can be characterized by its capability—the profile of knowledge, skills, and process abilities
available to the organization in that
competency
Trang 14• The People CMM describes an evolutionary improvement path from ad hoc, inconsistently performed workforce practices, to a mature
infrastructure of practices for continuously
elevating workforce capability
• The philosophy implicit in the People CMM can be summarized in the ten principles
(discussed next)
Trang 15Principles of People CMM
Trang 17• Capability can be measured and improved at multiple levels of the organization, including individuals, workgroups, workforce
Trang 18• Operational management is responsible for the capability of the workforce
• The improvement of workforce capability can
be pursued as a process composed from
proven practices and procedures
• The organization is responsible for providing improvement opportunities, and individuals
are responsible for taking advantage of them
Trang 19• Because technologies and organizational forms evolve rapidly, organizations must continually evolve their workforce practices and develop new workforce competencies
Trang 21• The practices required to attract, develop, and retain outstanding talent have been understood
Trang 22Seven Principles of Workforce
Management
Trang 24• Deep technical and business knowledge is
required to make rapid decisions that are not only correct, but also consistent with decisions
Trang 25Management
• The development and coordination of a
modern workforce requires an integrated set of practices that address attracting, developing, organizing, motivating, and retaining
outstanding individuals

Trang 30• Rather, it integrates improved practices into a staged model that guides an organization
Trang 32• In a rush to meet overly aggressive deadlines, the project staff begins cutting corners on sound
practices and making mistakes that are not
detected until it is much more time consuming
and costly to remove them than to have prevented them
• As a result, projects lose control of their schedule, costs, and product quality. Since work is
chronically overcommitted in lowmaturity
organizations, their results depend largely on the
Trang 33• At the second level of maturity, organizations must establish a foundation on which they can deploy common processes across the
organization
• Before being able to successfully implement many advanced practices, management must first establish a stable environment in which to perform professional work
Trang 34• They must ensure that people are not
constantly rushing about pellmell, cutting
corners, making mistakes due to hasty work, and fighting the fires that characterize
overcommitted organizations
• The primary objective of a Maturity Level 2 environment is to enable people to repeat
practices they have used successfully
Trang 35• At the third level of maturity, the organization identifies its best practices and integrates them into a common process
• Once people are able to perform their work
using practices they have found to work, the organization has the ability to identify which practices work best in its unique environment
Trang 36• These practices are documented and integrated into a common process in which the entire
organization is then trained
• Measures of the critical practices in this
process are defined and collected into a
repository for analysis
Trang 37performance
Trang 38• At the fifth and highest level of maturity, the organization uses its profound, quantitative
knowledge to make continuous improvements
in its processes. Based on its data, the
organization can identify which processes can benefit most from improvement actions
Trang 39their capability
Trang 40• The People CMM has been designed to
increase the capability of the workforce, just as the SWCMM increased the capability of the organization’s software development
processes
Trang 41• The People CMM has been applied in
numerous industries and types and sizes of
organizations around the globe
• Industries using the People CMM range from hightech and information technology
companies, to pharmaceuticals and hospitality,
to construction and government agencies

Trang 45• The People CMM applies the principles of the process maturity framework to the domain of workforce practices
• Each of the People CMM’s five maturity
levels represents a different level of
organizational capability for managing and
developing the workforce
Trang 46• Each maturity level provides a layer in the
foundation for continuous improvement and equips the organization with increasingly
powerful tools for developing the capability of its workforce
Trang 47• The People CMM stages the implementation
of increasingly sophisticated workforce
practices through these maturity levels
• With the exception of the Initial Level, each maturity level is characterized by a set of
interrelated practices in critical areas of
workforce management
Trang 48• When institutionalized and performed with
appropriate regularity, these workforce
practices create new capabilities within the
organization for managing and developing its workforce
