Metastorm ProVision Modelers-Strategy
Strategy Modeler
The Strategy Modeler allows strategic components such as goals, problems, opportunities, rules and environmental influences to be related in a single model to display the strategic influence each has on the others. The influence relationships among them can then be visually charted and better understood. (for example, the influence of problems inhibiting the attainment of goals, the influence of opportunities to solve problems, the influence of environmental influences restricting the realization of opportunities, etc.)
This model can be used for a variety of purposes, such as supporting the balanced scorecard approach for setting goals and measuring performance, or cause and effect.
Rule Modeler
A typical categorization scheme organizes rules by target. For example, all customer interaction rules are grouped, as are employee policies, product definition rules, etc. These categories are then arranged in a hierarchy from general to specific. Rule models may be built to mirror a Process model where the top-level rules apply to an entire process, and are then detailed based upon the activities they target.
Rules may also be included in a Strategy model to show influence relationships between rules and other strategic objects.
Goal Modeler
A Goal model is a hierarchy that organizes goals and their metrics for a business domain. Goals and metrics may be organized in a variety of ways depending on the categorization scheme used.
A typical categorization scheme organizes goals by target. For example, all customer satisfaction goals are grouped, as are employee effectiveness goals, product quality goals, etc. These categories are then arranged in a hierarchy from general to specific. Goal models may be built to mirror a Process model, where the top-level goals apply to a process, and are then detailed based upon the components. Likewise, Goal models may be built to correlate with an organization's structure.
Problem Modeler
A Problem model is a hierarchy that organizes the problems experienced by the business. Problem models describe process inhibitors within component activities and show the cause and effect relationships between problems.
A Problem model places a general problem at the highest level in the hierarchy. More specific problems that cause general problems are organized below it.
Opportunity Modeler
The Opportunity model presents a hierarchy that organizes the opportunities developed for the business. Opportunity models are developed to consolidate the strategic and process possibilities for the business, and provide a place to store cost/benefit information.
An Opportunity model places a general opportunity category at the highest level in the hierarchy. More specific opportunities that comprise general opportunities are organized below it.
Capability Modeler
The Capability model organizes the defined abilities within the enterprise into a hierarchy. A Capability is a grouping mechanism that assembles the People, Processes, Systems, etc. to enable the enterprise to produce certain products and services.
Environmental Influence Modeler
The Environmental Influence model creates a hierarchy from the Environmental Influences that impact a Business Domain. Environmental Influences affect the way in which a business performs its processes, but that are outside the control of the Business Domain.
Impact Modeler
The Impact model organizes into a hierarchy the possible Impacts an enterprise may experience. An Impact is a likely outcome, such as a cost, benefit or risk, of an effort within the enterprise. These efforts may include Plans, Projects, Business Processes, Opportunities, Requirements, etc.
Plan Modeler
The Plan model organizes into a hierarchy the Plans that direct the enterprise. Plans are typically established during a strategic planning exercise and consist of the mission, strategies and tactics employed by the enterprise as a means to achieve its Goals.
Project Modeler
The Project model structures the Projects that are scheduled to effect change in the enterprise into a hierarchy. A Project is a managed effort employing resources over a given period of time to enact change.
Navigator
The Navigator is a special modeler that allows you to view and manage Metastorm ProVision's integrated repository. It provides access to all objects and links constructed within a notebook's constituent models. This is achieved by selecting a given object and progressively disclosing selected associations to other objects in the notebook using the neighborhood function. The Navigator provides for the examination of associations that are constructed across various models. Models by nature reflect a given view within a given context. The Navigator enables you to traverse objects and associations across a wider context than the models where they reside.
