Good observation, Russ. I’ve noted previously (though probably not often enough) that we call this a Business-IT Maturity Model because there are 2 sides - business demand maturity and IT supply maturity. It is easy (natural?) to get out of whack - sometimes demand is pulling on supply, and other times supply is leading demand. They never get too far out of what because if they begin to do so, there’s usually a change of CIO (either spending too much in the supply ahead of demand scenario, or spending too little in the demand ahead of supply case). But sometimes, if there’s a rapid shift in market dynamics, or a change in business leadership, there can be a rapid incogruety as you note - with lots of stress and pain. One of our visions for level 3 is the ability to rapidly flex up and down - on demand - without breaking a sweat!
