As discussed above, this Assessment groups reporting entities into categories that are a combination of their business function maturity and their operational conformance, with both ranging on 5-point Likert-like scales from Very Low to Very High. The combination of these two factors, each with 5-point scales, produces 25 individual overall performance categories where reporting entities fall based on their maturity and conformance responses. For instance, if a reporting entity’s responses produce a maturity index rating of 1.88 (Low) and an operational conformance index rating of 3.57 (High), then their overall performance category would be “Low Maturity - High Conformance.” We grouped reporting entities into overall categories based on their responses to the Assessment . Then, we conducted analysis for each overall performance category to determine group descriptive statistics (i.e., how many answered a question in a certain way) and maturity and conformance outcomes within the category . The sections below provide analysis highlights within each overall category as well as targeted recommendations that overwhelmingly apply to reporting entities within the category.
