Digital maturity model for research and development organization with the aspect of sustainability.

Many organizations are trying to assess how they progress on their digital transformation journey. One of the methods to assess this progress is to apply the concept of digital maturity. In this article authors describe how they discovered the need to develop a digital maturity model tailored to research and development organizations and share their experience from testing the first version of this model. Digital maturity can be assessed to determine the current state of the organization and to develop roadmaps helping organizations evolve and respond to market dynamics. The authors firmly believe that there is no responsible digitalization without considering the dimension of sustainability and therefore they included it in their maturity model. A digitally transformed company becomes more efficient, generates less waste, and uses fewer resources, which makes it more sustainable.
