Accomplishing Development of Missions, Organizations and Functions
Duration
2 hours
Identify the staff that is most knowledgeable in the enterprise as a whole.
For Enterprise Missions
Build a top-down diagram of the missions of the enterprise
Review sufficiency and completeness of the identified missions
Remove those that are useful but not necessary for the enterprise to exist
Essential for the enterprise to exist
Combine those that are redundant
For each node on the mission hierarchy diagram develop mission description statement.
Store mission hierarchies in the Metabase System. Reflect, as necessary Mission networks in the Metabase system as well.
Factor out of mission node description statement any characterizations as to Who or How.
Ensure that all Mission description objectives are in an idealized form.
Present, review, and revise mission statements with enterprise stakeholders and subject matter experts.
For Enterprise Organizations
Build a top-down organization model that identifies the enterprise organization units that accomplish the enterprise's missions.
Review completeness of the identified organizations
Retain all organizational units regardless of centralized or decentralized existence within the enterprise.
Retain all organizational units that serve a single business mission or multiple business missions.
Ensure that the diagram reflects the reality of the enterprise as it currently exists, not idealized or planned.
For each node on the organization hierarchy diagram develop organization description statement.
Store organization hierarchies in the Metabase System. Reflect, as necessary organization networks in the Metabase system as well.
Factor out of organization node description statement any characterizations as to Why or How.
Ensure that all organization description objectives are in real form without regard to efficiency and effectiveness.
Present, review, and revise organization statements with enterprise stakeholders and subject matter experts.
For Enterprise Functions
Build a top-down function diagram all the human-centric processes that are accomplished within the enterprise in the accomplishment of the enterprise organizations.
Review completeness of the identified functions
Retain all functions regardless of centralized or decentralized existence within the enterprise.
Retain all functions that serve a single business mission or multiple business missions.
Retain all function descriptions that are different from each other because of style of execution
Ensure that the diagram reflects the reality of the enterprise as it currently exists, not idealized or planned.
For each node on the function hierarchy diagram develop function description statement.
Store function hierarchies in the Metabase System. Reflect, as necessary function networks in the Metabase system as well.
Factor out of function node description statement any characterizations as to Why or Who.
Ensure that all Function description objectives are in a real form without regard to efficiency, effectiveness or style.
Present, review, and revise function statements with enterprise stakeholders and subject matter experts.
Intersect Missions and Organizations
Identify for each organizational unit those missions nodes that are responsible for accomplishing the mission.
Record the organizational accomplishment of a mission in the Metabase System as an intersection of mission and organization.
Accomplish the intersections via the contextual relationships of the mission hierarchies and/or networks to the organization hierarchies and/or networks.
Retain the existing mission accomplishment organizational allocations regardless of efficiency or effectiveness.
Present, review, and revise mission-organization intersections with enterprise stakeholders and subject matter experts.
Intersect Mission-Organizations intersections with Functions.
Identify for each mission-organization those function nodes that are responsible for carrying out the processes associated with the organizational accomplishment of the mission.
Record the functional processes of a mission-organization in the Metabase System as an intersection of mission-organization with function.
Accomplish the intersections via the mission-organization intersection to the function hierarchies and/or networks.
Retain the existing function accomplishment mission-organization allocations regardless of efficiency or effectiveness.
Present, review, and revise mission-organization-function intersections with enterprise stakeholders and subject matter experts.
Generate overall missions, organizations and functions with enterprise stake holder to ensure completeness, sufficiency, and a reflection of the reality that actually exists without regard to efficiency or effectiveness.
