The document outlines 8 stages of corporate UX maturity: from initial hostility toward UX (Stage 1) to a user-driven corporation (Stage 8). It describes each stage, including typical timescales, characteristics, and strategies for advancing to the next stage. Stage 1 involves hostility to UX, while Stage 8 involves corporate decision-making guided by user data and research. Advancing through the stages requires persistent advocacy and demonstration of UX's positive impact on metrics like conversion rates and customer satisfaction over periods of 2-7 years per stage.
