Check out the Software Engineering Institute's "People Capability Maturity
Model (P-CMM" at http://www.sei.cmu.edu/technology/p-cmm.html. It's "a
maturity framework that describes the key elements of managing and
developing the work force of an organization. It describes an evolutionary
path from an ad hoc approach to managing the workforce, to a mature,
disciplined development of the knowledge, skills, and motivation of the
people that fuels enhanced performance." (From the referenced web page.)
Actually, I'd be interested to hear what some of the people on this list
think of the model at various levels. Is a "maturity model" appropriate
as a basis for structuring the "learning work" of an organization? What
are the strengths and weaknesses of this one with regard to "people
management"?
