Formative - demonstrated experience
Operational - standardization, formal practices, functional asset distribution/re-use
Optimal - proactive, value-driven, future-focused

People - incipient
Information – incipient to formative
Systems – formative (big orgs with funding); ad hoc (smaller orgs with limited resources)
Processes - incipient
