PCMM Level 5® 2008

People Capability Maturity Model (PCMM) Level 5®

The P-CMM framework was developed by Carnegie Mellon University to define the organizational maturity of people processes and practices. It is the only framework that addresses the needs of employees, their competencies, and the processes that need to be in place to ensure an organization is continuously improving and able to meet business needs effectively and efficiently and ranks on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest achievable maturity level. Sutherland is the world’s first pure-play BPO organization in the world to attain PCMM Level-5 stature. Today, Sutherland has imbibed the learning accrued through the PCMM journey into our mainstream practices for managing the talent lifecycle.
