Directed Evolution process cycle shows the relationship between knowledge, strategy, vision, and realization (change). Key operations metrics feed the MEASURES database. Realization projects feed the KNOWLEDGE (architecture portfolio) database. This, along with executive management STRATEGY and VISION drive REALIZATION enabling aligned and strategic evolution.
And the cycle repeats itself -- changed business and technology constructs being executed, measured, and feeding (updating) the MEASURES database. Other realization projects changing (updating) the KNOWLEDGE database, and management adapting, changing the STRATEGY and VISION to drive REALIZATION,
That's Directed Evolution .
