What is People CMM?
The People Capability Maturity Model® (People CMM®) is a state-of-the-art organizational change management model designed to help organizations improve their workforce capability and effectiveness.
People CMM offers a maturity improvement framework that organizations can use to manage and improve their actions to attract, motivate and retain the best qualified professionals. The practices included in the model can help an organization become an employer of choice and assure that its workforce possesses the required competencies to achieve the organization’s current and future business objectives.
Considering the systemic view of People CMM, as well as the solid experiences in which the practices of the model are based, there is little doubt, if any, that a training program on the fundamentals and practices of the model provides great value to any professional who reach out to this management model.
For this reason, People CMM can be conceived as a key reference for effective training of HR professionals, people managers, executives, line-managers and people in general who are involved or interested in implementing continuous improvement programs in their organizations.
