Baldrige/CMMI developmental scoring model for K–N Stage 3: Align the partnership.

Basic Reacting to Problems/Early Systematic Approaches		Intermediate Effective Systematic Approaches	Advanced Integrated Approaches
0–25%	30–45%	50–65%	70–100%
Some scientific and support units (sites, labs, HR, IT, Finance, etc.) have written plans that align with selected parts of the partnership strategy. Little evidence of linkage between employee goals/objectives with partnership strategic plan		Many scientific and support units (sites, labs, HR, IT, Finance, etc.) have plans that flow from the partnership strategic plan, and to their employee performance and training plans	Most scientific and support units (sites, labs, HR, Finance, etc.) have well-developed plans that directly cascade from the partnership strategic plan. Employee performance and training plans are fully aligned to support achievement of partnership goals; Knowledge and best practices are shared across operating units.
