Levels

This section provides explanation about the Levels in the MINCE Maturity Model.

Levels: overview

Figure 18 – A MINCE Tower (with only levels 1 to 3)

Levels indicate the appreciation of competitiveness in relation to each of the combinations of the Tower and the full set of Criteria.

As explained elsewhere, each Tower in out MINCE castle has five Levels (a couple more than there were found for the Tower in adjecent photograph). The higher the level in a Tower we are able to reach, the better we can see who is approaching through our looking holes (Criteria). From the first floor we will, obviously, via our Criteria-holes only notice anyone approaching as soon as the oncomer is very near. Only at that moment will the organization be able to decide whether to consider the newcomer a friend or a threat. The organization, as a result, will have little time to prepare a warm welcome of a proper defense.
