Patent ID: 8311864

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of calculating a metric indicative of a business entity's strategic health at a specific point in time, comprising: determining a measurement of energy, wherein at least one component of the measurement of energy is weighted; determining a measurement of entropy, wherein at least one component of the measurement of entropy is weighted; identifying at least one linkage between the energy measurement and the entropy measurement; calculating, using a computing device processor, based on the measurement of energy, the measurement of entropy, and the at least one identified linkage, a strategic health metric indicative of the business entity's strategic health at the specific point in time; creating a graphical representation of the strategic health metric; calculating at least a second metric indicative of the business entity's current strategic health at an at least second point in time; modifying the graphical representation to include the second metric; and comparing the strategic health metric with the at least one second strategic health metric to determine whether the business entity's strategic health is changing over time.
