Earned understanding reveals appropriate action. — An IpX Ethos
CM2 is the way to make X Management better—significantly better—where X = Product, Organization, Process, Personnel, Data, Systems, Technology, Knowledge, etc. Read about (1) configuration and (2) change; and then about the (3) CM2 framework to understand why.
A configuration is the arrangement of anything in a given context.
In a business environment, configurations encompass a wide range of elements, including people, processes, systems, and data. Understanding and managing these configurations is vital for achieving excellence in every aspect of your operations.
“Change is the only constant.” – Attributed to Heraclitus (ancient Greek philosopher)
The one true constant of everything, everywhere, all the time, is change. In the realm of business, this reality underscores the critical importance of understanding how configurations—whether involving people, processes, systems, or data—evolve over time. Sustainable success hinges on the ability to manage and adapt to these changes, both within your organization and in the external environment.
CM2 is the compass that points to the True North for meaningful and enduring excellence.
CM2 is a forward-thinking configuration management framework that helps organizations to effectively and efficiently handle the arrangement, flow, and evolution—i.e., continual data-driven change—of everything in their ecosystem (e.g., people, processes, systems, data).
