Here are the key points about engagement maturity levels:
- CRAWL: Not using engagement levels or ladder concept
- WALK: Informal description of engagement levels on some platforms
- RUN: Formal description of engagement levels based on research, aligned with strategy but no measurement
- FLY: Formal engagement levels based on research, aligned with strategy and measurement/reporting
The levels progress from no use of engagement concepts to fully integrating engagement levels into strategy, research, and measurement. Moving from informal to formal approaches and aligning engagement with organizational goals are signs of increasing maturity.
