IVI’s Vision - Align IT Capability and the IT Professional Comprehensive Education is the Key

Provide and use IT-CMF Training & Education

to support IT professionals’ ability to add value to an

organization by

synchronizing current expertise and skills

with IT-CMF education:

Building and applying new knowledge, skills, and

capabilities,

to enhance IT’s contribution to business value


What is (IT) Professionalism?

Traditional characteristics of

professionalism

• Skills based in theoretical (body of) knowledge

• Training and education

• Testing professional competencies

• Organisation

• Adherence to a professional code of conduct

However, this approach does not consider

professionalism in relation to :

• The growth of professional work

• The influence of economic, social and

technological change

(Roberts & Konn, 1984)

Other dimensions of professionalism

- Conceptual characteristics (Mission)

1. Clarification of the profession’s functions

- Performance characteristics (BoK &

Competency)

2. Mastery of theoretical knowledge

3. Capacity to solve problems

4. Use of practical knowledge

5. Self-enhancement

- Collective identity characteristics (Unique

identifiers)

6. Formal training

7. Credentialling

8. Creation of a subculture

9. Legal reinforcement

10. Public acceptance

11. Ethical practice

12. Penalties

13. Relation to other professions

14. Relation to users of the service

How does this relate to IVI and IT-CMF?

As use of IT-CMF increases, there is an growing demand for individuals with IT-CMF

knowledge and skills.

We know this through the success of

• IVI’s formal professional and academic education programmes

• Requests to IVI for people with IT-CMF practitioner skills

• IVI’s consultancy partners

We need to recognise and continually develop individuals with IT-CMF-related

competencies. The IT-CMF Professionalism Programme meets these growing needs by:

Building and maintaining IT professionals' knowledge and skills to the expertise levels

demanded by high-performing organisations

Developing an ecosystem to enable IT-CMF professionals to communicate, collaborate

and collectively support performance of IT-CMF-related activities

Continually developing performance to ensure professionals’ competencies are updated

as required


Benefits of IT-CMF Professional Accreditation

Benefits for the IT-CMF ecosystem

This accreditation programme is an indication of

growing competency and maturity in IT-CMF

implementation

The programme is an investment opportunity for people

wishing to forge a career using IT-CMF

The outputs and innovation from activities undertaken to

attain IT-CMF accreditation can be re-used to increase

IT capability maturity in industry, academia, and for the

people involved in the programme.

Benefit for IT-CMF Professionals

Professional accreditation will enable IT-CMF Certified

professionals to differentiate themselves in the

marketplace

Will provide experienced IT-CMF Certified

Professionals with an opportunity to identify knowledge

& skill gaps and remediate through CPD

Provide access to the IVI BoK, as well as a network of

peers

Benefits for Organisations

IT-CMF accreditation can be used to differentiate

candidates for executive or higher management level

roles

Organisations that employ IT-CMF Certified

Professionals can justifiably claim to demonstrate

increased capability maturity by having staff who have

attained appropriate IVI accreditation

Organisations can assign IT-CMF Certified

professionals to capability maturity programmes that are

of value to the organisation

Organisations will gain value (some direct, some

intangible) by disseminating IT-CMF-related concepts,

processes & practises via IT-CMF Certified

professionals, broadening adoption of the framework

IT-CMF Professional Accreditation will offer many benefits to the IT-CMF

community of practise at large, and to contributing individuals
