A Review of Digital Maturity Models from Adaptive Enterprise Architecture Perspective: Digital by Design

There is a growing interest among organisations to assess and improve digital capabilities. Thus, a digital maturity model can assist organisations in planning and navigating their digital transformation. The challenge is that there are several maturity models to choose from. This paper aims to review the most recent digital maturity models from an enterprise architecture design perspective to understand, tailor, and adopt the appropriate model.

Further, the review results were synthesised and analysed using the adaptive enterprise architecture as a theoretical lens. This review reveals that digital maturity models still lack the ability to capture a holistic picture of digital maturity from an enterprise design perspective. The results of this review can be further casted into developing digital maturity principles and metamodel
