People CMM is a Management Consulting Wet Dream
When I first heard that the SEI had a lesser-known counterpart to its Capability Maturity Model (CMM) called People CMM (P-CMM), I had to DuckDuckGo if it was a joke.
It isn’t, except in the same sense that CMM-I is a kind of cruel joke.
P-CMM uses the same 5 levels as the SEI CMM to “systematically transform chaotic workforce practices into strategic capability development” across 22 process area. Without any sense of irony, the process professes to “address critical people issues in your organization”, then immediately dropping the word “people” in favor of the terms “workforce” and “resource.”
