A five-level maturity model for progressing from a credible digital foundation to connected operations, automation, responsible AI and more sustainable digital operations.

The framework is diagnostic, not a certification. It helps structure conversation about the business's next useful capability and should be adapted to local programme requirements.
A business may be advanced in one area and basic in another. Programme assessment should identify gaps, dependencies and risks rather than assign a simplistic score.
Understand current digital presence, tools, records, processes and constraints.
Find the barrier that most limits credibility, operations, automation or insight.
Prioritise the smallest practical improvement that supports the business goal.
Use clear ownership, data protection, human review and appropriate security.
Check whether the new capability is actually being used and improving work.
Move to the next level only when the foundation is stable enough to support it.
Country sites define what support is active, who is eligible and what delivery terms apply.
