Abstract: The objective of the study is to analyse how the stage of the performance management of a network can be evaluated with a knowledge maturity model. The purpose is to examine how the knowledge maturity model OSSIC works in the context of network-level performance management. In addition, the study generates contents for management attributes from the network perspective. The study concerns a single case consisting of a collaborative network. The empirical data has been gathered with interviews and an action research process. According to the results of the study, the OSSIC maturity model is a suitable approach for the adoption of a network-level performance measurement system, for several reasons. The use of the OSSIC model helps to observe the development issues concerning performance management in a wider scope. The results of the study indicate that the most essential attributes for the successful adoption of a network-level performance measurement system are the network culture and the skills and knowledge of the participants.
