For more information . Functional Maturity Management RATS supports COBIT Transformation project design, implementation and  employee buy-in by producing a clear understanding of the changes of  roles required in order to achieve the desired sound business practice. The primary aim of implementing COBIT is to bring about change in the  way the organisation functions and, in order for the outcome to be  sustainable, the changes must be made with respect to the way individual  key employees carry out their day to day functions. The RATS combination of methodology and technology produces a clear “as is to be” Functional Structure model of those areas of the organisation that the project will impact. This Business Blueprint clearly sets out the  connection between the individual day to day activities, currently  undertaken by all key employees affected, and the Sound Practice  behaviour that the Project seeks to bring about in the I.T. environment. Role Accountability Tool Set (RATS)™ Having enabled understanding of the functional business model, RATS   then supports the creation and implementation of Functional Maturity  Models. These models are created by undertaking a Role Accountability Mapping  intervention focused on identifying the individuals responsible for the key  Functions to be carried out in an organisation in order to achieve the  qualitative and quantitative outcomes required by COBIT and Val IT.  This “Sound Practice” Role Accountability Model can then be used to  communicate and agree the collaborative functionality required by the I.T.  team and report on change using the RATS KnowledgeBankERP  transformation management Web 2.0 technology.  The RATS KnowledgeBankERP technology removes complexity enabling  the implementation of Sound Practice designs by providing extremely  effective visualisation of the progress toward Functional Maturity.
