The Capability Maturity model for Business Development

For many years, companies have used traditional Capability Maturity Models (CMM) to measure their effectiveness at delivering business.

The BD-CMM has revolutionised the way your company can operate, by providing a holistic view of your business. The BD-CMM encompasses the full life cycle of business development. Its organisational components include; marketing, sales, account management, pursuit management, proposal development, and others engaged in the business-development enterprise. The model acknowledges that no one component can exist very long in isolation and that success, when realised, is the orchestrated result of team effort.

BD-CMM is an objective methodology for looking at how the whole organisation is structured to win business. It is not sufficient to have one area of excellence within a company. A good sales force cannot succeed if manufacturing cannot deliver, or if the administration delays your process.

BD-CMM involves a whole-company audit, and then targets company improvement schemes to the underperforming areas.
