Guest post from Jim DuBreuil: If you Google the term, “business maturity,” you will find lots of discussions about the emergence of social networks to drive new business. You’ll also see information about how a line of business “matures” when you implement an effective model, focus on the right priorities and execute rigorously. What I mean by personal business maturity is one’s ability to manage adversity and change with poise and professionalism regardless of circumstances.

Children today are overexposed to information far earlier than they are ready and underexposed to real-life experiences far later than they are ready producing a kind of artificial maturity.

Knowing truth does not make one spiritually mature. Knowing the Bible, even memorizing Scripture, does not make one spiritually mature. I have known many in churches who have lots of experience with church, lots of Biblical knowledge, but I wouldn’t consider them spiritually mature.

To acknowledge great variations in human capital maturity is not to be judgmental; it is not saying that the average worker in some developing economy is "immature" in a psychological sense. As in other areas of running a business, a maturity model only acknowledges that capabilities are built over time, brick by brick.
