The text explores the model's theoretical underpinnings, provides guidance on its implementation across leadership, structure, processes, people, and culture, and suggests metrics for measuring capability maturity and strategic health. Ultimately, the report positions the DCM as a means for continuous adaptation and sustainable advantage.
