Structure of the artefact
Section | Description |
|---|---|
Strategic response model trigger | A defined external or internal event. Example: Proposed national safety legislation for hazardous freight. |
Impacted strategic drivers | One or more strategic objectives tagged as relevant to the trigger. |
Key organisation units | Units tagged as responsible, dependent, or impacted based on capability and service roles. |
Affected capabilities | Filtered based on alignment with strategic objectives or dependency relationships. |
Service dependencies | Services required to respond to or deliver the desired outcome of the scenario. |
Value streams engaged | End-to-end business processes likely to be activated or altered. |
Information requirements | Information assets needed to inform decisions or satisfy compliance. |
Stakeholders | Primary stakeholders affected, mapped to expectations, engagement plans, or risks. |
Policies and compliance | Policies that apply or must be created/updated. |
Performance measures | KPIs that will demonstrate scenario readiness or success. |
Initiative/program links | Existing or proposed initiatives addressing the scenario. |
...
To support structured scenario development, the Orthogramic Metamodel offers a growing catalogue of predefined triggers. Each trigger can be used to initiate a scenario composite artefact and is tagged with relevant business architecture domains.
Trigger Category | Example Triggers |
Regulatory or compliance | New legislation, compliance audit mandate, data sovereignty changes |
Technological change | AI rollout, cybersecurity breach, platform deprecation |
Environmental & safety | Natural disaster preparedness, climate risk disclosures, workplace injury reform |
Operational transformation | Business process outsourcing, shared services implementation, lean redesign |
Strategic re-alignment | Mergers and acquisitions, board-level strategic pivot, budget realignment |
Customer & stakeholder | Community expectations shift, digital service demand surge, key account loss |
Workforce & skills | Critical skill shortage, union action, remote work policy adoption |
Performance response | KPI threshold breach, repeated incident occurrence, audit fail |
Political or social | Public inquiry, ministerial intervention, social licence erosion |
Innovation-led opportunity | Grant funding availability, pilot program success, ecosystem partnership offer |
Each scenario triggered using this catalogue links back to relevant Orthogramic Metamodel domains—such as capabilities, services, initiatives, and stakeholders—to produce a dynamic view of organisational readiness and response.
