What is The 501(c) IT Maturity Model™?
The ITMM (as we call it) is a framework used to align an organization’s technology with its mission and business objectives. However, it goes far beyond just the technology.
The ITMM not only measures how well the four primary pillars of IT—management, data, digital, and infrastructure—support the organization’s goals, it also provides a path to further align its technology.
Since we launched the model in 2008, we’ve worked with hundreds of organizations to take a step back from project-specific conversations and consider technology as a whole, paving the way for a brighter future.

The IT Maturity Model Overview
Advancing along the path to maturity from Restrictive to Innovative leads to a more efficient organization—one that’s better equipped to accomplish its mission and goals.
Restrictive
Technology gets in the way. Systems fail, computers crash, and security is compromised. You have an insufficient budget, outdated equipment, and undertrained staff.
Functional
Technology works, but it isn’t easy. Your technology is one step shy of integration and automation. You’re making do with systems and processes that work but are cumbersome.
Effective
Not only does technology support your goals, it’s never an obstacle. Technology supports your mission by adding value to the member experience, but you’re not yet anticipating members’ future needs.
Innovative
Technology allows the organization to innovate, create, share, and bring knowledge to staff and members. You use technology to meet your members’ existing needs and anticipate future needs. Your CIO contributes to strategic discussions.
