Decision tree hierarchy in the C-Suite

The decision tree hierarchy is a structured OLAP framework that organizes strategies, objectives, and KPIs in a parent-child relationship.

This structured OLAP framework enables drilling down from high-level business strategies to detailed performance metrics for comprehensive analysis and decision making.

The Decision tree hierarchy impact on the C-Suite

The TOTAL_DECISION_TREE structure from the OLAP hierarchy directly powers the behavior and content of the C-Suite widgets.

This is the behavior of the widget once the model is published:

  • Strategy & Objective widget displays all published strategies along with their assigned objectives from the OLAP hierarchy. When a strategy is selected, the list of objectives is populated. Selecting an objective updates the Metrics widget. The widget also includes color-coded icons, with colors determined by the HasPositiveDisplaySign and GrowthImpact properties.
  • Metrics Table widget populates KPIs assigned to the selected objective, using mirrored KPI elements from OLAP to display metrics. The order of KPIs is determined by the Rank set in Business Modeling. The KPI types, such as KVI, KPI, Driver, Account, Sum Acc., and Calc. Metric, are shown based on the KPI_Objective_Assignment or MetricType property. The color coding is applied to Δ and Δ%.
  • The Trend & Projection widget inherits the KPI context from the Metrics table, which is based on the OLAP decision tree structure. It applies color coding across the chart.
  • The Top & Bottom Analysis widget inherits the KPI context from the Metrics table, which is structured according to the OLAP decision tree. Its sorting logic is influenced by the KPI type and its growth impact as defined in OLAP. The color coding is applied throughout the widget to visually indicate performance.
