Patent ID: 8214792

Claim:
A computer implemented tool for business transformation, comprising: a computer processor; a software development kit adapted for integrating and running plug-ins, said software development kit when launched on said computer processor presenting a user with an integrated development environment having a set of available plug-ins comprising: an activities view for editing activities associated with a component; a custom attributes view for editing customer attributes on the component; a connections view for viewing collaboration in a component business model (CBM) map; a heat map view for displaying host maps on the CBM map, wherein said heat map view is adapted to compute a composite component score for a component, Ci, according to the formula score ⁡ ( C i ) = ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ w i ⁢ f ⁡ ( H i , C i ) ∑ i = 1 n ⁢ w i where Hi is a view that participates in said heat map, Wi is a weight associated with Hi, and f:(H.times.C)→{0, 1} is the standardization function for the legend assigned to the component Ci for view Hi; a metrics view for editing a key performance indicator (KPI), on the component or the CBM map, wherein said metrics view is adapted for comparing a KPI value to an industry median value for the KPI; a plug-in containing a core metamodel; and a plug-in for creating and specifying enterprise process scenarios.
