Enterprise State Review
How does an enterprise establish what has happened across its operating environment?
What must be trueAn enterprise must be able to establish what has happened across its operating environment before making decisions about its current state.
An enterprise can only make informed decisions about its current state by reconstructing what has happened across its operating environment.
The researched workflow will appear here when its public video has been published.
Why does this matter?
The enterprise must establish a clear understanding of enterprise state review to ensure proper control and accountability.


Current enterprise state is produced by earlier events.
Review becomes useful when activity, transactions and accumulated records can be brought together. That reconstruction lets responsibility be assessed across locations and operations.
What does this look like in practice?
The research brings together activity, transactions and accumulated records so enterprise responsibility can review the state produced by operations.
Activity across operating contexts is brought together so enterprise responsibility can understand and control the resulting state.
Enterprise review reconstructs the whole stateActivity across operating contexts is brought together so enterprise responsibility can understand and control the resulting state.- current state is produced by earlier events
- review crosses individual operating locations and activities
- visibility supports enterprise-level control
Operational control requires the ability to reconstruct enterprise state from the events that produced it.

Explore how an enterprise reviews its established state, then see how that review becomes the basis for operational decisions.
