What is a Policy in Orthogramic?
...
In summary, a Policy in Orthogramic is not just a static set of rules; it is a living, dynamic component of business architecture that interacts with other domains to shape organizational behavior. Unlike BIZBOK’s more traditional, documentation-centric view of Policies, Orthogramic’s approach focuses on adaptability, real-time data integration, and operational relevance. This modern, data-driven methodology empowers organizations to proactively manage Policies, ensuring they are consistently aligned with strategic objectives and responsive to changing conditions. By embedding Policies within the business architecture and linking them to performance metrics, Orthogramic transforms Policies into active tools for driving organizational success.
