People-CMM® related Consulting, Training & Assessments

Initiation
QAI engages the Leadership Team to sensitize them about the concepts, investments and possible benefits related to a People CMM®-based improvement program. Further, our consultants facilitate the identification of specific organizational context, needs and business drivers for initiating and sustaining the program.

The organization’s Charter for People CMM®-based improvement program is developed (with high-level expectations, roles and responsibilities, milestones, etc.)

Orientation
Through multi-faceted training sessions and workshops, QAI consultants create an understanding on People CMM®’s philosophy, structure, concepts and recommended steps during its implementation.

Diagnostics & Action Planning
Through a variety of instruments like interviews, documentation review and surveys, QAI consultants work with the organization to develop a realistic “as-is” baseline of the organization’s people processes and their effectiveness measures. A descriptive mapping of the current people processes against the People-CMM -- either as strengths or as improvement opportunities is also presented.

Findings of the baseline analysis are amalgamated with the organization’s priorities, resource commitments and expectations to evolve an Action Plan for the People-CMM improvement program – with roles, responsibilities, milestones and, optionally, process measure-based Critical Success Factors.

Consulting & Facilitation
Our consultants partner with the implementing organization to offer ongoing services related to developing People CMM®-compliant processes, piloting the same and monitoring their implementation to ensure alignment with organizational objectives. Our suite of consulting includes sharing best practices, mentoring, conducting spot-checks and training.

Process Assessments
QAI provides a variety of People CMM®-based assessments to gauge the levels of process implementation and institutionalization in an organization – differing on their objectives and depth of coverage. The range includes Spot-Checks (to provide a quick and indicative “temperature reading” – along with Action Plans to close gaps, if any), Interim Assessment (a substitute for the official assessment), Pre-Assessment (to gauge readiness for the formal assessment) and Formal Assessment (lead by SEI Authorized Lead Assessors; to provide an in-depth people process profile based on SEI’s standard assessment methodology).

Various sources like documentation review, interviews and surveys are used to develop this “as-is” position, and – in line with business strategy -- appropriate recommendations are made for sustainable future improvements.
