Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for strategy development and resource management for achieving a goal. The goal is divided into a plurality of first-generation sub-goals to form a goal hierarchy. At least one parameter is defined for the first-generation of sub-goals. The sub-goals are further divided into subsequent generations of sub-goals if the number of generations of sub-goals is less than a threshold value. A multi-level concentric representation of the goal hierarchy is created, based on the at least one parameter. The multi-level concentric representation is used for developing a strategy for achieving the goal.
Claims22
A method for developing a strategy for achieving a goal, the method comprising the steps of:
- a. dividing the goal into a plurality of first-generation sub-goals to form a goal hierarchy, the goal and each of the plurality of first-generation sub-goals being represented as one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- b. dividing zero or more of the plurality of first-generation sub-goals into one or more subsequent generation sub-goals if the number of generations is less than a threshold value, each of the one or more subsequent generation sub-goals being added to the goal hierarchy;
- c. defining at least one parameter associated with each of the one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- and
- d. generating a multi-level concentric representation of the goal hierarchy based on the at least one parameter.
A goal management system for developing a strategy for achieving a goal, the goal management system comprising:
- a. a division module, the division module to divide the goal into a plurality of sub-goals to form a goal hierarchy, the goal and each of the plurality of sub-goals representing one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- b. a configuration module;
- the configuration module to define at least one parameter associated with each of the one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- and
- c. a graph-generating module, the graph-generating module to generate a multi-level concentric representation of the goal hierarchy based on the at least one parameter.
A computer program product for use with a computer, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein for developing a strategy for achieving a goal, the computer readable program code containing instructions for:
- a. dividing the goal into a plurality of first-generation sub-goals to form a goal hierarchy, the goal and each of the plurality of first-generation sub-goals being represented as one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- b. dividing zero or more of the plurality of first-generation sub-goals into one or more subsequent generation sub-goals if the number of generations is less than a threshold value, each of the one or more subsequent generation sub-goals being added to the goal hierarchy;
- c. defining at least one parameter associated with each of the one or more nodes of the goal hierarchy;
- and
- a. generating a multi-level concentric representation of the goal hierarchy based on the at least one parameter.
