Process Institutionalization

Institutionalization is embedding a process within the organization as an established norm or practice. The process is ingrained in the way the work is performed and there is commitment and consistency to performing the process.

The degree of institutionalized is expressed by the names of Generic Goals. The following table gives an overview of institutionalization:

For a Level 2 organization (Staged representation), all projects have their own framework (derived from org-level policy) for carrying out the processes. But each one differs from the other. For a Level 3 Organization however, the processes are tailored from the organization’s QMS as per the defined tailoring standards. Institutionalization of a process is accomplished at Level 3.

At level 4, only special causes of variations are addressed, while at level 5 even common causes of variations are addressed.
