CMMI AIM will formally launch at Capability Creates Conference, 23-24 June 2026
Schaumburg, IL, USA—CMMI Institute, a global leader in helping organizations reduce risk, boost performance, and build capability, is now extending this guidance to artificial intelligence, and has recently completed a pilot program for its new AI Maturity (AIM) framework.
AIM enables organizations to assess, benchmark and improve how AI is implemented across real-world enterprise and regulatory environments, linking AI practices and governance to measurable, scalable outcomes.
The organizations who were evaluated as part of the pilot program were IBM Consulting, Infosys Limited and Government Technical Services Corporation (GTSC).
Additional organizations who led and served on the appraisals, delivered training and contributed expertise included representatives from Benchmarked Pty Ltd, CommandTec and KPMG Assurance and Consulting Services LLP.
During the pilot, participating organizations collaborated closely with CMMI Institute to validate that CMMI AI maturity assessments can be applied reliably and consistently across diverse industries and domains. The pilot informed key aspects of AIM, including alignment to business objectives, consistency in AI practices, risk and regulatory management, and transparency in AI-driven decision-making.
The insights and dedication of our pilot program participants were instrumental in refining AIM to meet real-world needs,” said Ron Lear, CMMI Institute Vice President, Global CMMI Strategies. “Their leadership and feedback have helped us ensure that the framework is both practical and robust, positioning organizations to effectively and responsibly operationalize and assess AI across the enterprise.”
Participants’ Observations
"I view CMMI AIM as a foundation for modern, AI-enabled IT delivery,” said Aman K Singhal, Partner, IBM Consulting. “Our continued investments in AI, including CMMI AIM, empower us to help clients accelerate innovation, drive industry eminence and enhance execution capabilities, unlocking new avenues for growth.”
“The CMMI AIM pilot marks a significant step in our journey to unlock the true value of AI,” said Dinesh Rao, Executive Vice President and Chief Delivery Officer, Infosys. “As one of the initial organizations to pilot the CMMI AIM framework and contribute to the content and assessment method, we are defining what responsible, enterprise-grade AI adoption looks like in practice. Powered by Infosys Topaz, our sustained investments in AI maturity – across governance, productivity, and outcomes – give our clients a tested, structured path to realize AI value at scale. This milestone reinforces our role as architects of enterprise AI and governance standards the industry will follow.”
“We didn’t just adopt AI tools, we built an AI-native operating model with enterprise governance, a defined architecture, and direct CEO accountability,” said Raymond Roberts, Chief Executive Officer, GTSC. “The CMMI AIM pilot gave us the honest baseline we needed to do it right.”
The full framework will be launched at CMMI Institute’s first-ever Capability Creates Conference, 23-24 June 2026. At the event, AIM pilot participants will discuss the value CMMI AIM brings for managing AI risk, performance, data, and security, highlighting lessons learned and proven approaches for improving AI reliability, strengthening security and data controls, accelerating compliant deployment, and delivering measurable business results.
