Abstract:
1. A method for determining one or more shortfalls of one or more business components by multiple dimensions for business transformation, comprising: defining a plurality of shortfall types associated with a plurality of business components; defining a plurality of dimensions of the plurality of business components; constructing a shortfall assessment model for the plurality of dimensions; loading a business model associated with the plurality of business components; computing, by a processor, shortfall assessment by performing a daisy chain analysis using the shortfall assessment model and the business model for said plurality of shortfalls and associated shortfall types, the daisy chain analysis providing an automatic visual query for understanding correlations and dependencies directly or indirectly among business components, value drivers and business processes; and presenting the shortfall assessment using visualization, wherein the visualization includes the plurality of dimensions represented by respective different visual codes overlaid on a business component of business component view, the plurality of dimensions including at least IT application and organization dimensions, wherein a user interface widget is provided on the visualization to enable a user to label the business component with identified shortfall type and wherein the visualization further includes a shortfall tree view wherein the user labeled business component is added to the shortfall tree view on the visualization, wherein shortfalls of different dimensions are rendered in a single view.
