Nations, regions, industries and companies are becoming more project-oriented. Organising by projects and programmes creates competitive edge for these project-oriented systems. There is a correlation between the results and the maturity of a project-oriented system.

 

The mature ratios of project-oriented companies and nations can be measured and benchmarked by applying maturity models.

 

Different mature models are required for analysing the maturities of different social systems. Maturities for different project-oriented systems interrelate. Also different dimensions of a mature model relate to each other.

 

There is no ideal maturity of project-oriented systems. The competences required by a company or a nation depend on its context.

 

Knowing the mature ratios of a project-oriented system is the basis for further developing it.
