The Innovation value Institute (IVI) was co-founded in 2006 by Maynooth University and Intel to help drive the transformation of IT capability management.Its goal is to create the global gold standard for IT management. To achieve this goal, the Innovation Value Institute researches, develops, and disseminates empirically proven and industry validated IT best practice through a unique open collaboration between leading academic and industry practitioners. Through its consortium, IVI facilitates a collaborative community of like-minded peers committed to investigating, advancing and disseminating the frameworks, tools and best practices associated with managing IT Value and IT enabled Innovation. IVI is currently focused on extending the development and dissemination of the IT Capability Maturity Framework (IT-CMF).
