While implementing the CMMI at Maturity Levels 2 and 3 usually contributes to some level of improved performance, successfully implementing Maturity Level 5 enables an organization to begin to truly optimize their performance. This distinction is even more noteworthy when an organization matures rapidly. A division of a large international systems integration company headquartered in Seoul, South Korea (LG CNS, LG Insurance Sector) reached this pinnacle in October 2005 having successfully reached Maturity Level 5 after achieving Maturity Level 3 just twelve months earlier. Though this speedy rise through the Maturity Levels can not be accomplished by everyone, there are certain attributes, practices, and lessons learned that can be applied to any organization seeking to manage change, improve processes, and rapidly transform performance.

Some Parting Thoughts
I believe the true road to preeminent success
in any line is to make yourself master in that
line. - Andrew Carnegie
The three great essentials to achieve anything
worthwhile are, first, hard work; second,
stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense. –
Thomas Edison
It's very important that you find something
that you care about, that you have a deep
passion for, because you're going to have to
devote a lot of your life to it. – George Lucas
