Representing Business Drivers and Outcomes to Facilitate Collaborative Planning

摘要

A driver tree represents a model that models relationships between the various drivers of a business. The driver tree and the corporate outcomes computed from the driver tree may be presented in graphical display. The driver tree model may enable managers at any level of the organization to immediately see the impact of any changes they make on all parts of the corporate performance. Embodiments enable delegation of parts of the driver tree to persons with the nearest level of authority and oversight in corresponding parts of the business. The various branches of the driver tree may then be reassembled to create a more accurate view of ongoing strategies of the corporation as seen (and negotiated) by various layers of management.
