The Strategic Response Model (SRM) allows organisations to capture and understand how internal or external triggers lead to deliberate, structured responses across the business. It provides traceability between cause and effect—connecting performance insights, regulatory changes, stakeholder demands, and other triggers with the actions taken to realign business architecture domainsprovides a formalised structure for capturing how an organisation responds to external triggers and internal performance insights. It links these drivers to organisational reasoning (rationales) and defines the actions taken across strategic, policy, capability, and initiative domains. By making these relationships explicit, the model supports traceability, alignment, and accountability across the business architecture.

Each strategic response includes references to the triggers that prompted the change and the rationales that explain the basis for the response. Responses are associated with affected domains and are monitored through linked performance indicators, which define what success looks like and how progress is measured. These indicators support ongoing evaluation by including target values, baseline comparisons, timeframes, and data sources, enabling continuous assessment of strategic effectiveness.

This model supports continuous strategic alignment by documenting why a change occurred, how it was rationalised, and what was impacted—across impacted and by how much—across strategies, capabilities, initiatives, policy, and organisational units.

  • Triggers: Events, insights, or conditions that prompt a response. See: Trigger

  • Rationales: The reasoned justification for responding to a trigger. See Rationale

  • Responses: The aligned changes or activities, captured in other business architecture domains.

  • Performance Indicators: The quantifiable metrics used to evaluate the success, efficiency, or impact. See: Performance indicators

This structured model enables traceable, auditable, and adaptive decision-making throughout the organisation.
