SMS® — Systemic Maturity Scale
A practical maturity scale that reads how thinking turns into measurable practice. SMS® helps leaders locate their current state and move intentionally toward durable, organization-wide impact.
What SMS® is
SMS® is the official diagnostic instrument derived from the STT® framework to assess organizational and leadership maturity across four systemic levels. It turns scattered signals into a coherent reading that informs action, reporting, and execution priorities across the enterprise.
From thinking to doing
Bridges mindset and execution so practices stabilize instead of snapping back under pressure.
Board-ready language
One page that travels well: signals, priority moves, and risk to watch next quarter.
Four systemic levels
⚪ Level 1 — Individual Awareness
Emerging systemic literacy. People notice patterns beyond events and start naming loops.
⚫ Level 2 — Procedural Maturity
Knowledge translates into behavior inside processes. Handovers and roles reflect the new logic.
🟢 Level 3 — Systemic Integration
Thinking and practice align across functions. Incentives and governance support the intended flow.
🔵 Level 4 — Transformational Maturity
Dynamic balance and sustainable performance. The organization learns as one adaptive system.
Hierarchy of use: STT® → SMS® → SMR® → SEM®
Thinking → Measurement → Reporting → Execution.
