Source of Business-IT Maturity Model

Actually, to set the record straight, the source for the 3-level Business-IT Maturity Model was not the BTM Insitute (or some common ancestor thereof) as you suggest, but a multi-year, longitudinal multi-company research program I led at Ernst & Young's Center for Business Innovation about 15 years ago. This work, in turn, was inspired by Richard Nolan's Stage Theory first posited in 1974.
In any case, my point was that while many of us have talked for some years about business-IT convergence, I suggest that a term introduced by a client this week - confluence - may be more apt.

Thanks for the clarification -- I certainly did not intend to steal credit from your work. Rather, some may find additional collaboration/inspiration from the set of contributors on the BTM book. (below)
And yes, the term "confluence" may be quite apt (the connotation of a "happy confluence" suggests the influence of external forces upon the business landscape - helping to shape the interaction of business and IT; as opposed to the convergence, which suggests a concerted conscious effort by both disciplines- without regard to external factors).
