This model supports continuous strategic alignment by documenting why a change occurred, how it was rationalised, and what was impacted—across strategies, capabilities, initiatives, policy, and organisational units.
Components of the Strategic Response Model
The Strategic Response Model (SRM) links observed conditions—both external and internal—to formal responses across Strategy, Capabilities, Policy, Initiatives, and other domains. It is comprised of three core elements:
Triggers: Events, insights, or conditions that prompt a response. See: Triggers
Rationales: The reasoned justification for responding to a trigger. See Rationales
Responses: The aligned changes or activities, captured in other business architecture domains.
This structured model enables traceable, auditable, and adaptive decision-making throughout the organisation.
Purpose
The SRM strengthens strategic governance by ensuring that:
...
Responses reference a trigger selected from a standardised catalogue of events, trends, or insights. This ensures consistency in classifying causes of change and enables systemic analysis across responses.
See: Triggers
Affected domains
Strategic responses typically impact one or more of the following domains:
...
Rationales play an important role in classifying and organising strategic responses. Ensure that the trigger catalogue—which lists common environmental or operational triggers prompting strategic responses—is up to date. Reference to the trigger catalogue within this page ensures that rationales are accurately categorised based on their initiating context, improving traceability from external or internal stimuli through to strategic objectives, initiatives, and performance metrics.

This section formalises the strategic response model as composable within the Orthogramic Metamodel. It outlines the attributes required to define a model, including associated triggers, organisational roles, information dependencies, and KPIs, supporting reuse and integration across governance and planning tools.
