BD-CMM Appraisal Services

BD-CMM appraisal services allow BD-CMM adopters to receive expert, independent feedback on the maturity of their Business Development (BD) operation. With several options available, appraisals can be matched to specific needs and overall goals:

  • Accreditation Appraisal (Class A) provides a rigorous review that result in formal certification of an organization's capability.

  • Baseline Appraisal (Class B) is intended to help an organization determine its maturity "baseline" through an extensive process that yields relatively high confidence in the validity of results in an affordable appraisal package.

  • "Quick Look" Appraisal (Class C) allows an organization to quickly and inexpensively check the maturity of its BD operations, perform an interim check on progress, or measure a specific BD project using this streamlined appraisal methodology.
Overview
The BD-Institute's processes, methodologies, and tools for conducting BD-CMM appraisals are well defined and apply industry-standard practices to the complex task of appraising BD capabilities. Appraisal strategies include:
  • Collection of broad organizational feedback on the institutionalization of BD-CMM key practices through web-based surveys using one of the BD-Institute's exclusive tools, BD-Appraise™ or BD-Baseline™
  • Interviews with key personnel in five key categories (executives, business developers, operations and project managers, administrative staff, and technical subject matter experts)
  • Review of objective evidence in the form of documentation and case studies on relevant BD projects.
