CLIAMS:We claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for assessing customer centric BPM maturity of an organization, comprising:
creating, by at least one processor, an assessment model for an initiative, wherein creating the assessment model includes:
providing an initial assessment criteria selection for presentation on a user device,
receiving, from the user device, a selection of initial assessment criteria,
calculating a first score based on the selected assessment criteria,
determining a first maturity state of the initiative based on the first score, and
generating a first plurality of guidelines associated with the first score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
updating the assessment model by creating a new entry in the assessment model, wherein creating the new entry includes:
providing, for presentation on the user device, updated assessment criteria based on the first score;
receiving, from the user device, a selection of updated assessment criteria,
calculating an updated score based on the updated selected assessment criteria,
determining an updated maturity state of the initiative, and
generating an updated plurality of guidelines associated with the updated score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state or updated maturity state.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the updated maturity state is based on at least one of the first maturity state and a difference between the first score and the updated score.
4. The method of claim 2, further comprising:
generating a report comparing at least the first score and the updated score, and the selected assessment criteria and the updated selected assessment criteria.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving the selection of initial assessment criteria comprises receiving a plurality of binary answers, and wherein the first score is calculated based on the binary answers and a plurality of corresponding weights.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the first plurality of guidelines describe how to reach a target score based on the plurality of binary answers and the plurality of corresponding weights.
7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
updating the assessment model based on received threshold criteria.
8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining that an assessment model does not exist for the initiative, and
creating the assessment model responsive to the determining.
9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
creating an assessment model for an initiative, wherein creating the assessment model includes:
providing an initial assessment criteria selection for presentation on a user device,
receiving, from the user device, a selection of initial assessment criteria,
calculating a first score based on the selected assessment criteria,
determining a first maturity state of the initiative based on the first score, and
generating a first plurality of guidelines associated with the first score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein the medium stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, perform further operations comprising:
updating the assessment model by creating a new entry in the assessment model, wherein creating the new entry includes:
providing, for presentation on the user device, updated assessment criteria based on the first score;
receiving, from the user device, a selection of updated assessment criteria,
calculating an updated score based on the updated selected assessment criteria,
determining an updated maturity state of the initiative, and
generating an updated plurality of guidelines associated with the updated score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state or updated maturity state.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10, wherein the updated maturity state is based on at least one of the first maturity state and a difference between the first score and the updated score.
12. The computer-readable medium of claim 9, wherein receiving the selection of initial assessment criteria comprises receiving a plurality of binary answers, and wherein the first score is calculated based on the binary answers and a plurality of corresponding weights.
13. A system for assessing customer centric BPM maturity of an organization, comprising:
one or more hardware processors; and
a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
creating an assessment model for an initiative, wherein creating the assessment model includes:
providing an initial assessment criteria selection for presentation on a user device,
receiving, from the user device, a selection of initial assessment criteria,
calculating a first score based on the selected assessment criteria,
determining a first maturity state of the initiative based on the first score, and
generating a first plurality of guidelines associated with the first score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state.
14. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to perform operations further comprising:
updating the assessment model by creating a new entry in the assessment model, wherein creating the new entry includes:
providing, for presentation on the user device, updated assessment criteria based on the first score;
receiving, from the user device, a selection of updated assessment criteria,
calculating an updated score based on the updated selected assessment criteria,
determining an updated maturity state of the initiative, and
generating an updated plurality of guidelines associated with the updated score for moving the initiative to a maturity state that is not the first maturity state or updated maturity state.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the updated maturity state is based on at least one of the first maturity state and a difference between the first score and the updated score.
16. The system of claim 14, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to perform operations further comprising:
generating a report comparing at least the first score and the updated score, and the selected assessment criteria and the updated selected assessment criteria.
17. The system of claim 13, wherein receiving the selection of initial assessment criteria comprises receiving a plurality of binary answers, and wherein the first score is calculated based on the binary answers and a plurality of corresponding weights.
18. The system of claim 17, wherein the first plurality of guidelines describe how to reach a target score based on the plurality of binary answers and the plurality of corresponding weights.
19. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to perform operations further comprising:
updating the assessment model based on received threshold criteria.
20. The system of claim 13, wherein the one or more hardware processors execute the instructions to perform operations further comprising:
determining that an assessment model does not exist for the initiative, and
creating the assessment model responsive to the determining.
