Kerzner Project Management Maturity Model Online Assessment
Returning users please click here to log-in >


How’s the health of project management in your organization?
Just like a physical from a doctor you trust, the Kerzner Project Management Maturity Assessment Tool diagnoses the health of project management in your organization. It identifies strategic strengths and weaknesses and then creates a prescriptive action plan for improving the health of your PM efforts. It allows you to objectively assess your project management capabilities against key knowledge areas of the PMBOK® Guide. And it's all done online, which means it’s easy for employees to access and execute. Scoring is automatic and instantaneous.

Developed by Dr. Harold Kerzner
The assessment framework is based on Dr. Harold Kerzner’s five-level project management maturity model. Several years in development, the Kerzner maturity model is the result of real-life application within a number of world-class organizations. The tool has been industry validated and is fully aligned with the PMBOK® Guide. Dr. Kerzner is widely regarded as one of the world’s most knowledgeable authorities on project management strategies and methodologies. This online version of the Kerzner maturity model was developed under the overall direction of Howland Blackiston, Executive Vice President of International Institute for Learning. Some additional content was provided by Tom Block.

Here’s how it works
Employees who are invited to take the assessment answer a series of multiple-choice questions. There are a total of 183 questions, broken down by five levels of maturity. The resulting scores provide a candid look at project management within your organization. The tool also gives you a professional analysis of the scores and offers specific suggestions for what your company needs to do differently than they are doing now. Discover where additional training is needed. See whether or not your implementation of project management is successful.

Use this assessment to “sell” project management
If you are having difficulty selling project management in your organization, let the objective assessment results do the talking for you. Management will see how your organization’s project management efforts actually compare to other companies within and outside of your industry. Put an end to debates and speculation regarding your strengths and weaknesses. Instead, spend time and resources on agreeing how you can achieve superior levels of project management maturity.

The online format is fast, automatic and easy to use
The assessment tool is available online, which means it’s easy to access and use throughout your organization. Scoring and analysis is automatic and instantaneous. We will create a private and secure URL so that your employees can access this tool from any computer. You can filter assessment results by business unit, division, job function or even geographic location -- whatever filtering criteria are the most strategically important to your organization. This filtering allows you to compare scores between groups to see which areas of your business are doing well, and which need improvement. At each level of the assessment, the tool provides individual users with a detailed breakdown of their scores and a blind-comparison of the organization’s results to all other companies that have taken the assessment. You can even see how your company’s overall scores compare to other companies in similar industries.

Executive interface monitors results
We will set up an “Executive Interface” page for your organization. This handy feature allows designated managers to continually monitor your organization’s assessment results. Managers can sort scores by the filtering criteria, and compare results within the company as well as outside of the company. They can even view the scores of individual participants within the company. To find out how to license this product for your organization, click here to contact the IIL office nearest you.

Who should take this assessment?
This Assessment Tool is applicable to all industries. It’s valuable to a wide array of users, including: project managers, members of the project office, project team members; individuals preparing for the PMP certification exam, project sponsors, corporate trainers, stakeholders, customers (internal and external), university students, consultants, functional or line managers, and focus group leaders. The broader the participation within a company, the more objective the assessment results.

When completing each level of the assessment, participants can see their score results broken down by the sub-categories within that level. A click of a button compares their scores to all others who have taken the assessment, or they can display a prescriptive analysis of their results.

Our Executive Dashboard allows authorized managers to see a detailed summary of their organization’s assessment results. Managers can instantly view and compare individual and company-wide assessment scores. The feature also allows them to export the raw data into spreadsheet applications.
