Working Through a GInI Authorized Training & Assessment Provider (ATAP)
To obtain a CGInO accreditation, your organization must contract and work through a GInI Authorized Training & Assessment Provider (ATAP)®. This ATAP will in turn secure two or more GInI Authorized Innovation Assessors (AInAs)® who will execute the CGInO review and on-site assessment process with your organization, and thereafter submit their final Government Innovation Maturity Assessment Report (GInMAR) to GInI. Following this, GInI will make a final determination of your organization’s passing of this process, and if passing, the level of CGInO accreditation reported will be awarded. After this, GInI will notify your organization and its ATAP of this determination, and will provide your organization with a copy of the Assessors final report (the GInMAR).
To maintain its CGInO accreditation, your organization must pass a full third-party reassessment every two years.
