Introduction
Performance indicators represent the quantifiable metrics used to evaluate the success, efficiency, or impact of strategies, initiatives, capabilities, services, or responses within define how success is measured across the business architecture. They are central to aligning organisational activity with strategic objectives and provide the basis for tracking progress over time.
In Orthogramic, performance indicators can be:
...
Referenced across domains such as Strategy, Capabilities, Services, and the Strategic Response Model.
...
Embedded with sufficient detail to enable real-time analysis, monitoring, and audit.
...
Mapped to current, baseline, and target values to enable performance tracking, dashboards, and automated reporting.
...
link organisational intent with observable results and support both strategic planning and continuous performance monitoring.
Each indicator identifies what is being measured, how it is quantified, who is responsible, and what values define acceptable or concerning performance. Recent enhancements support comparative analytics, temporal evaluation, thresholds for alerts, and evaluative models to guide interpretation over time.
