The standardized taxonomy also supports governance and auditability by ensuring that triggers are documented according to consistent criteria, making it easier to trace decision-making patterns over time.
Trigger Catalogue
Triggers are classified using the Trigger Catalogue, which defines accepted types of triggers.
The trigger catalogue provides a curated and expanding set of predefined triggers that can be used to initiate strategic responses. Each trigger is tagged to relevant business architecture domains, enabling efficient strategic response planning and alignment across organisational activities.
Each strategic response 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.
Common Trigger Catalogue types include:
...
Regulatory: New or updated legislation or compliance obligations.
...
Performance Insight: Metrics indicating deviation from expected outcomes.
...
Risk: Identified operational, financial, or strategic risks.
...
Opportunity: Market, partnership, or innovation opportunities.
...
Mandate: Governmental or internal directives.
...
.
Linking to Rationales
Triggers can lead to multiple Rationales. Each Rationale references the originating trigger and justifies a different response path. This many-to-one structure allows a single trigger to influence several domains. See: Rationale
