Digital Maturity Indicator

A tool to help accelerate digital maturity

How it works

The Digital Maturity Indicator (DMI) is a tool to help organisations measure, benchmark and improve their digital maturity across six key areas.

The DMI was developed by Code for Australia in partnership with the NSW Public Service Commission, and is based on research from the Harvard-Kennedy School of Government. We measure your organisation’s current level of digital maturity, with a view to co-design and prioritise actions to help you improve.

It’s about transforming the public service to be more digital, connected, communicative and effective and there are three flexible assessment options to suit all budgets and requirements.
