1 Determining a prioritised list of recommendations for strategic progression

Determining a prioritised list of recommendations for strategic progression

To help an organisation advance towards its goals and align with the philosophy of Orthogramic, it’s essential to deliver precise, prioritised recommendations. These recommendations should guide the organisation's strategic alignment while being personalized to the user and their role. By combining the best practices of Orthogramic's philosophy and recommendation examples, we can build an intelligent, responsive system for prioritising actions that will lead to the organisation’s success.

Aligning with Orthogramic’s philosophy

The philosophy of Orthogramic centers around simplicity, efficiency, and strategic alignment. It emphasises providing clear, actionable insights to decision-makers, helping them make informed decisions that move the organisation forward. Every recommendation generated by Orthogramic must align with this philosophy, ensuring that each suggested action pushes the organisation towards greater alignment between its strategy, capabilities, and resources.

Orthogramic’s philosophy also stresses empowerment—allowing users to self-service their strategic needs while receiving tailored guidance. This approach ensures that users feel in control of their processes but are not left without actionable insights. The philosophy places a strong emphasis on performance and results, meaning that recommendations should always lead to measurable progress.

Personalising recommendations based on role and context

A key factor in determining a prioritised list of recommendations is understanding the role of the individual receiving the recommendation. Orthogramic personalises recommendations for different roles, such as Chief Operating Officers, Enterprise Architects, or Talent Acquisition Managers, ensuring that the recommendations are both actionable and relevant to their specific responsibilities.

For example, a COO may receive recommendations focused on operational efficiency and cross-departmental collaboration, while an Enterprise Architect might receive recommendations about technology alignment and architecture improvements. The goal is to ensure that each user receives recommendations that are not only beneficial to the organisation as a whole but also align with their personal goals and responsibilities within that organisation.

Moreover, recommendations are influenced by the user’s behavior and interaction with Orthogramic. This behavior tracking allows the system to understand how quickly and effectively a user responds to recommendations or requests for approval, adjusting future recommendations based on their patterns. By logging and analyzing these interactions, the platform ensures that users who act quickly on recommendations are provided with the most urgent or complex tasks first, while users who may require more time are given simpler, more straightforward actions.

Structuring recommendations with strategic goals in mind

The recommendations provided by Orthogramic are not random; they are based on strategic alignment. The Orthogramic system uses business architecture data, performance metrics, and current organizational needs to generate its recommendations.

Orthogramic’s approach proactively pushes suggestions that help organisations not only maintain current operations but also progress toward long-term strategic objectives. For example, recommendations might be ranked based on:

Strategic alignment: How closely the recommendation aligns with the organisation's current business strategy.
Urgency: How time-sensitive the recommendation is.
Impact: How significantly the recommendation will affect the organisation’s goals and performance.
Resource availability: Whether the necessary resources (human, technological, or financial) are available to execute the recommendation.
Behavioral insights: How the user has interacted with past recommendations and what types of actions they tend to complete most efficiently.

By combining these factors, Orthogramic can determine a prioritised list of recommendations that will have the most significant impact on the organisation’s success.

Progressing toward a prioritised list: Best practices

A useful framework for developing a prioritised list of recommendations involves analysing past interactions and combining them with real-time data to deliver the next logical step for users to take. Orthogramic can leverage its integrated business architecture data and analytics to recommend the "next best action" for decision-makers.

Orthogramic’s system follows a similar logic:

Data-driven insight: Using business architecture and performance data, Orthogramic identifies the areas of greatest need within an organisation.
Recommendation creation: Based on that data, Orthogramic generates a list of recommendations tailored to the user’s role, the organisation’s goals, and the strategic alignment of ongoing initiatives.
Prioritisation: Recommendations are ranked according to strategic relevance, urgency, impact, and available resources.

By following this process, Orthogramic ensures that users are not overwhelmed with recommendations but are instead guided toward actions that will provide the greatest benefit to their organisation in the shortest amount of time.

Conclusion: An adaptive, strategic approach to recommendations

The key to determining a prioritised list of recommendations in Orthogramic lies in combining strategic foresight with role-specific personalisation. By leveraging behavior insights, strategic alignment, and resource availability, Orthogramic ensures that users receive the recommendations that are most likely to drive progress in their organisation.

As users interact with these recommendations and provide feedback through their actions, Orthogramic continuously refines its approach, ensuring that the organisation is always progressing towards fulfilling the principles of simplicity, efficiency, and strategic alignment as laid out in the Orthogramic philosophy.
