A maturity that could be reached through a number of\u00a0ingredients such as\u00a0more predictable roll-out strategies, stronger competencies, technology that is easier to use or an organizational culture that is\u00a0more conducive of an open sharing and innovation. A higher readiness equates to more intense business results with a smaller investment in a shorter timeframe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can\u00a0Social Collaboration maturity be objectively evaluated and compared?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m convinced it can and actually it should.
