Towards process maturity - triggers of change

Process-oriented development of an organization is supported by maturity models. They delineate a sequence of stages that together form a path from an initial to a desired maturity level. Maturity progress is determined by various success factors and initiated by different triggers. There is no common classification of these triggers. The purpose of this paper is to identify triggers in relation to maturity levels. To identify triggers a contextual model has been developed and literature review has been conducted. Results suggest that due to incomplete understanding of process-based approach some additional triggers may also affect success of its implementation.
