Abstract: A driver tree represents a model that models relationships between the various drivers of a business. The driver tree and the corporate outcomes computed from the driver tree may be presented in graphical display. The driver tree model may enable managers at any level of the organization to immediately see the impact of any changes they make on all parts of the corporate performance. Embodiments enable delegation of parts of the driver tree to persons with the nearest level of authority and oversight in corresponding parts of the business. The various branches of the driver tree may then be reassembled to create a more accurate view of ongoing strategies of the corporation as seen (and negotiated) by various layers of management.

Abstract: A driver tree model represents relationships among different levers of a business and desired outcomes. The driver tree may be connected to actual data from operational systems in the business in order to capture a realistic current status of the business. Changes to the drivers in the tree may enable managers and other decision-makers to assess, analyze, and otherwise understand the impact of those changes to various aspects of the business.
