Design Maturity Model

Definition

The Design Maturity Model is a framework used to assess the level of design integration and effectiveness within an organization. It helps evaluate how design is incorporated into business strategies, workflows, and culture. The model typically ranges from early stages (ad hoc design processes) to advanced stages (design is deeply embedded and influences key business decisions), guiding organizations toward more mature and strategic design practices.
