Definitions
- This description relates to employee management.
- a person who manages other people in a business is typically charged with a variety of human resource tasks. These may include performance reviews, goals setting, salary and bonus allocations, filling open positions, training assignments, and succession planning, for the people who are positioned below the manager in the organizational chart of the business.
- the manager may invoke software processes of a software application running on his workstation.
- the software application may also enable the manager to view the organizational chart in various display styles.
- At least part of an organizational chart of an enterprise is displayed to a manager, the displayed organizational chart including employee positions and their relationships, and elements are displayed on the displayed organizational chart that can be invoked by the manager to perform actions with respect to the employee positions.
- Displaying at least part of an organizational chart includes displaying information about the status of at least one of the positions.
- the status includes displaying at least one of: planned but not authorized, authorized but not filled, and filled.
- the actions include viewing information about the position.
- the actions include at least one of planning a position, budgeting for a position, requisitioning a person for a position, and reviewing candidates for a position.
- Displaying at least part of an organizational chart includes displaying information about a particular person who occupies one of the positions.
- Displaying the elements that can be invoked includes displaying the elements visually in association with employee positions to which they relate. The displaying of at least part of an organizational chart and the displaying of elements are determined based on a role being played by the manager.
- the manager is enabled to control a style in which the organizational chart is displayed, including a chart style, and a tree style.
- a control element is displayed that enables the manager to toggle between displaying information about a position and information about actions that can be taken to change a status of the position.
- a user interface paradigm includes a display to a manager of at least part of an organizational chart of an enterprise, the displayed organizational chart including employee positions and their relationships, and a display to the manager of elements on the displayed organizational chart that can be invoked by the manager to perform actions with respect to the employee positions.
- aspects of the invention may include other combinations of one or more of the aspects and features recited above and other aspects and features, expressed as methods, apparatus, systems, and program products, and in other ways, as will become apparent from the following description and from the claims.
- FIGS. 1 through 16 and 18 through 21 are screen shots.
- FIG. 17 is a block diagram.
- a portal page 10 of a user interface to a software application for a manager offers manager navigation buttons 12 that are selected to enable him to see information and perform functions that relate to a role that he performs in the enterprise.
- the portal page is for the role of a hiring manager, Robert Alamar, the director of finance.
- the functions and views offered by the buttons include a dashboard 14 , a view of the manager's team 16 , a way to requisition new people 18 , a view of information about candidates 20 , and a general contacts function 22 .
- the buttons (and hence the subsequent views that can be invoked by the manager) can be selected based on functions and tasks that are available from the underlying software application, on choices made by the manager to configure his interface, and in other ways.
- the dashboard view 24 provides panes that display to the manager information about (and enable him to perform) hiring tasks to be done 26 , requisitions 28 , candidates 30 , and others 27 .
- the requisitions and candidates panes display top level numerical status information 29 about the numbers of requisitions and candidates that have certain respective statuses, for example, of 146 candidates under consideration, 24 have evaluations pending, one has an interview pending, and six have offers pending.
- Each task pane 28 , 30 includes a box 32 in which a query can be entered to locate requisitions or candidates and a link 34 to display recently viewed records.
- the particular panes that are displayed on the dashboard view will depend on the information needed and tasks to be done for the role played by the manager to whom they are presented, in this case the role of the manager being as a hiring manager.
- Robert Alamar is the director of finance of the enterprise. In that position, he could have a variety of different roles.
- the particular role for which the dashboard view of FIG. 1 applies is as a person who hires people for his group.
- panes that are displayed also depend on the available information and functions provided by the software application that underlies the dashboard view.
- the manager who uses the dashboard can control the selection of panes to be displayed, and their layout and style.
- a team window 40 is displayed as shown in FIG. 2 .
- the team window displays to the manager information about a set of employee positions of the enterprise, in this case including the position (Director of Finance) of the manager himself 41 and of the positions of the people who are situated below him on the organizational chart of the finance department.
- icons 42 , 44 , and 46 and associated radio buttons 48 enable the manager to choose the graphical organization of the view of his team, either as an organizational chart 50 , a tree, or a table.
- the organizational chart 50 is displayed as a hierarchically arranged set of panels 52 , each panel related to one employee.
- a panel would relate to a group of positions of people who work under a manager and that group panel could be toggled to roll down and roll up hidden parts of the organizational chart under that group panel.
- Connecting lines 54 on the organizational chart 50 indicate reporting relationships among employees in the typical way.
- the organizational chart represents the positions and their relationships in the enterprise hierarchy.
- the status of a position may change over time.
- the position may be, for example, planned but not yet budgeted, budgeted but not yet filled (open), or filled.
- the panel 52 may show the name 53 , title 55 , and photograph 57 of the employee who occupies the existing position on the chart.
- the panel 60 is displayed in a different color and indicated by an Open flag 56 .
- An unfilled position panel shows the position title 61 and either a requisition 62 that has been opened or an indication 64 that no requisition has been authorized, but the position has been budgeted. Alternatively, for example, the position could be shown as planned but not yet opened.
- the organizational charts of the kind described here are active charts that enable the manager to do more than merely look at different portions of an organizational structure to see the positions in the structure and who occupies the positions.
- the organizational charts described here also enable the manager to perform personnel management tasks associated with one or more of the positions or of people who occupy them by directly invoking links that are graphically associated with the people or positions. Invoking the links leads directly to activities or information useful in the manager's role or roles.
- the organizational chart is active, it can effectively serve as a user interface paradigm much as the Microsoft Windows desktop paradigm serves as a general interface to applications managed by the operating system.
- the manager can rely almost entirely on the window that displays the organizational chart as a mode of using the processes of the software application.
- the user is able to align his understanding of the structure of the organization that he manages directly with the functions that he may need to perform and the information that he may need to obtain with respect to positions in that organization, rather than needing to learn a set of interfaces that are directed to the functions while using the organizational chart only occasionally as a passive chart.
- the manager can take actions with respect to unfilled positions in the organizational structure.
- the manager can click on the actions links 74 or 76 .
- a list 78 drops down to identify categories 80 of information available to the manager in the context of the role that is represented by the interface at the current time.
- Other examples of information that may be available include salary and performance information as shown in FIG. 21 .
- the categories of information depend both on the manager's role for which the interface is configured and on the available information in the underlying database. If the manager invokes one of the categories on the list, that information is displayed on the screen. For example, if the View Requisition entry were invoked, the requisition associated with the position would be displayed as shown in FIG. 18 .
- a drop down list 80 identifies actions that may be taken by invoking an entry 82 on the drop down list.
- the selection of available actions depends, as in FIG. 3 , not only on the actions that are available from the software application but also on the context of the manager's role that is active in the interface.
- the manager by invoking the Add New Position Reporting to Finance Manager item, the manager is taken to a process in the application that enables a new position to be added to the organizational chart as shown in FIG. 19 .
- the interface automatically (or by invocation of a link by the manager) returns to the organizational chart paradigm when the manager is finished using the information or working with the features.
- FIG. 5 shows the drop down list 84 that appears when the “my tasks” link is invoked.
- the list of tasks 86 is a shortened version of the task list shown in FIG. 1 .
- FIG. 20 shows other examples of tasks, including tasks related to compensation and performance.
- the information about the organizational chart is portrayed as a hierarchical list 88 as shown in FIG. 6 .
- the root entry 90 at the top of the list represents the manager, Robert Alamar.
- Each position is shown in a compact panel 92 in the list.
- the information displayed in a panel is similar to but more compact than the information shown in a corresponding panel of FIGS. 2 through 5 .
- icons 87 correspond to the icons on earlier figures.
- the hierarchical levels of the list can be rolled up and rolled down by invoking + and ⁇ icons 93 in much the same way that portions of folder structures displayed by operating systems can be rolled up and rolled down.
- FIG. 7 shows similar information in the form of a table 95 (which is displayed when the table icon 46 is invoked) containing fields for title 97 , reporting to 99 , requisition ID 101 , candidates 103 , and tasks 105 .
- the selection of which records are displayed can be determined by the manager by invoking one or another of the choices in a drop down list 94 . For example, by invoking Open Positions 107 , the table is limited to positions that have not been filled (as in the table shown in FIG. 7 ).
- Some examples of an interface useful for a manager also could include features for building and managing the representation of all or a portion of an organizational structure.
- a portal page 100 for a CEO, Lynn Hobart could include panes similar to the ones shown in FIG. 1 .
- the manager is taken to the display, shown in FIG. 9 , of the organizational chart 104 in which she is in the root position. (in some figures the silhouette images 115 represent specific people whose photographs are not available).
- FIG. 9 Graphical elements shown on FIG. 9 allow the manager to navigate and perform functions that help to render the organizational chart active and to serve as a user interface paradigm. For example, if the manger hovers over the down arrow icon 108 below a position panel 110 , a message 111 is displayed ( FIG. 10 ) indicating a number of additional positions that lie immediately below the position associated with the element 108 . Clicking on the element 108 produces the display shown in FIG. 11 of the portion of the organizational chart that has at its top the position of FIG. 9 from which the screen of FIG. 11 was reached, and under it the positions that are under that top-level position in the organizational structure.
- the up arrow 112 in FIG. 11 can be invoked to return to the display of FIG. 10 , that is to the portion of the display that shows at its root the position above Robert Alamar, and also shows the rest of the positions under the new root position.
- a panel that represents a position that is not currently filled can be displayed differently to enable the manager to invoke other functions associated with the status of the position.
- the panel 114 that relates to Maria Josephs is shown with an offset underlying box 116 and a small diagonal arrow 118 .
- hovering over the arrow causes the message 120 “Toggle to requisition associated with this position” to appear.
- Clicking on the arrow causes the underlying box 116 to be displayed overlying the panel 114 , as shown in FIG. 13 .
- the box 116 displays information about the position 117 and a link 119 , in this example, to a requisition for the position.
- a tag 122 associated with the box 116 identifies the position as In Process and that a Draft of the requisition exists.
- the arrow 118 in FIG. 9 can be toggled to switch between the overlay of FIG. 9 and the reverse overlay of FIG. 13 .
- the manager can view a help message 125 ( FIG. 14 ) explaining what is meant by Draft.
- the manager can see ( FIG. 15 ) a message 128 indicating actions that the manager can take, in this case, viewing the requisition. By clicking on the available action description, the manager is taken to that process of the software application.
- a position can be identified as Planned 129 and Budgeted ( FIG. 16 ). Hovering over the clipboard 130 of such a position triggers a message 132 to be displayed that enables, for example, to request a requisition in accordance with the budget.
- the identities and numbers of items that can be displayed as help messages, actions, and in other ways in the panels, panes, and windows of the interface can vary and can depend on available features of the underlying software application, available information in a database, roles played by the manager, and preferences expressed by the manager.
- a server (or multiple servers) 202 run a software application 206 that includes processes 208 that provide functions and information to managers useful in managing employees in an enterprise.
- the software application may in some implementations be run on user devices instead or on a combination of user devices and servers in a client-server mode.
- the software application creates, manages, and uses information in a database 210 that can be located with the server or servers, coupled to them, or located remotely and accessed by any communication link 203 .
- the database itself may be distributed or centrally located.
- the database contains, among other information, organizational information 212 that includes positions in an enterprise 214 , their connections 216 , actions that can be performed with respect to the positions 218 , status of the positions 220 ; display information that can define the styles 224 of display elements, and their arrangement and presentation; information 226 about the managers who use the system including their roles 228 , their permissions 230 , and details about their registrations 236 to use the system; personnel records of the usual kind maintained by an enterprise 234 ; and other information.

Abstract
Description
- This description relates to employee management.
- A person who manages other people in a business, for example, is typically charged with a variety of human resource tasks. These may include performance reviews, goals setting, salary and bonus allocations, filling open positions, training assignments, and succession planning, for the people who are positioned below the manager in the organizational chart of the business. To perform one or more of these tasks, the manager may invoke software processes of a software application running on his workstation. The software application may also enable the manager to view the organizational chart in various display styles.
- In general, in an aspect, at least part of an organizational chart of an enterprise is displayed to a manager, the displayed organizational chart including employee positions and their relationships, and elements are displayed on the displayed organizational chart that can be invoked by the manager to perform actions with respect to the employee positions.
- Implementations may include one or more of the following features. Displaying at least part of an organizational chart includes displaying information about the status of at least one of the positions. The status includes displaying at least one of: planned but not authorized, authorized but not filled, and filled. The actions include viewing information about the position. The actions include at least one of planning a position, budgeting for a position, requisitioning a person for a position, and reviewing candidates for a position. Displaying at least part of an organizational chart includes displaying information about a particular person who occupies one of the positions. Displaying the elements that can be invoked includes displaying the elements visually in association with employee positions to which they relate. The displaying of at least part of an organizational chart and the displaying of elements are determined based on a role being played by the manager. The manager is enabled to control a style in which the organizational chart is displayed, including a chart style, and a tree style. A control element is displayed that enables the manager to toggle between displaying information about a position and information about actions that can be taken to change a status of the position.
- In general, in an aspect, a user interface paradigm includes a display to a manager of at least part of an organizational chart of an enterprise, the displayed organizational chart including employee positions and their relationships, and a display to the manager of elements on the displayed organizational chart that can be invoked by the manager to perform actions with respect to the employee positions.
- Other aspects of the invention may include other combinations of one or more of the aspects and features recited above and other aspects and features, expressed as methods, apparatus, systems, and program products, and in other ways, as will become apparent from the following description and from the claims.
-
FIGS. 1 through 16 and 18 through 21 are screen shots. -
FIG. 17 is a block diagram. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , aportal page 10 of a user interface to a software application for a manager offersmanager navigation buttons 12 that are selected to enable him to see information and perform functions that relate to a role that he performs in the enterprise. In the example, shown inFIG. 1 , the portal page is for the role of a hiring manager, Robert Alamar, the director of finance. The functions and views offered by the buttons include adashboard 14, a view of the manager'steam 16, a way to requisitionnew people 18, a view of information aboutcandidates 20, and ageneral contacts function 22. The buttons (and hence the subsequent views that can be invoked by the manager) can be selected based on functions and tasks that are available from the underlying software application, on choices made by the manager to configure his interface, and in other ways. - The
dashboard view 24 provides panes that display to the manager information about (and enable him to perform) hiring tasks to be done 26,requisitions 28,candidates 30, andothers 27. The requisitions and candidates panes display top levelnumerical status information 29 about the numbers of requisitions and candidates that have certain respective statuses, for example, of 146 candidates under consideration, 24 have evaluations pending, one has an interview pending, and six have offers pending. Eachtask pane box 32 in which a query can be entered to locate requisitions or candidates and alink 34 to display recently viewed records. - The particular panes that are displayed on the dashboard view will depend on the information needed and tasks to be done for the role played by the manager to whom they are presented, in this case the role of the manager being as a hiring manager. As will be seen later, Robert Alamar is the director of finance of the enterprise. In that position, he could have a variety of different roles. The particular role for which the dashboard view of
FIG. 1 applies is as a person who hires people for his group. - The particular panes that are displayed also depend on the available information and functions provided by the software application that underlies the dashboard view. In addition, among a larger set of available panes, the manager who uses the dashboard can control the selection of panes to be displayed, and their layout and style.
- When the
team button 16 is invoked by the manager, ateam window 40 is displayed as shown inFIG. 2 . The team window displays to the manager information about a set of employee positions of the enterprise, in this case including the position (Director of Finance) of the manager himself 41 and of the positions of the people who are situated below him on the organizational chart of the finance department. - In the team window,
icons radio buttons 48 enable the manager to choose the graphical organization of the view of his team, either as anorganizational chart 50, a tree, or a table. - As shown in
FIG. 2 , theorganizational chart 50 is displayed as a hierarchically arranged set ofpanels 52, each panel related to one employee. In some examples (not shown), a panel would relate to a group of positions of people who work under a manager and that group panel could be toggled to roll down and roll up hidden parts of the organizational chart under that group panel. Connectinglines 54 on theorganizational chart 50 indicate reporting relationships among employees in the typical way. - The organizational chart represents the positions and their relationships in the enterprise hierarchy. The status of a position may change over time. The position may be, for example, planned but not yet budgeted, budgeted but not yet filled (open), or filled. When a position is filled, the
panel 52 may show thename 53,title 55, andphotograph 57 of the employee who occupies the existing position on the chart. - In some cases, if the existing position is not filled, the
panel 60 is displayed in a different color and indicated by anOpen flag 56. An unfilled position panel shows theposition title 61 and either arequisition 62 that has been opened or anindication 64 that no requisition has been authorized, but the position has been budgeted. Alternatively, for example, the position could be shown as planned but not yet opened. - In general, the organizational charts of the kind described here are active charts that enable the manager to do more than merely look at different portions of an organizational structure to see the positions in the structure and who occupies the positions. The organizational charts described here also enable the manager to perform personnel management tasks associated with one or more of the positions or of people who occupy them by directly invoking links that are graphically associated with the people or positions. Invoking the links leads directly to activities or information useful in the manager's role or roles.
- Because the organizational chart is active, it can effectively serve as a user interface paradigm much as the Microsoft Windows desktop paradigm serves as a general interface to applications managed by the operating system. In the organizational chart paradigm, the manager can rely almost entirely on the window that displays the organizational chart as a mode of using the processes of the software application. The user is able to align his understanding of the structure of the organization that he manages directly with the functions that he may need to perform and the information that he may need to obtain with respect to positions in that organization, rather than needing to learn a set of interfaces that are directed to the functions while using the organizational chart only occasionally as a passive chart.
- For example, as shown in
FIG. 2 , the manager can take actions with respect to unfilled positions in the organizational structure. In addition to obtaining additional information by invoking alink 70 titled info and navigating to the list of tasks (similar to the list shown inpane 26 ofFIG. 1 ) using the link labeled mytasks 72, the manager can click on theactions links - When an info link is invoked, a list 78 (as shown in
FIG. 3 ) drops down to identifycategories 80 of information available to the manager in the context of the role that is represented by the interface at the current time. Other examples of information that may be available include salary and performance information as shown inFIG. 21 . The categories of information depend both on the manager's role for which the interface is configured and on the available information in the underlying database. If the manager invokes one of the categories on the list, that information is displayed on the screen. For example, if the View Requisition entry were invoked, the requisition associated with the position would be displayed as shown inFIG. 18 . - As shown in
FIG. 4 , when theactions link 74 is invoked, a drop downlist 80 identifies actions that may be taken by invoking anentry 82 on the drop down list. The selection of available actions depends, as inFIG. 3 , not only on the actions that are available from the software application but also on the context of the manager's role that is active in the interface. - In the example shown, by invoking the Add New Position Reporting to Finance Manager item, the manager is taken to a process in the application that enables a new position to be added to the organizational chart as shown in
FIG. 19 . In general, whenever an invocation by the manager of a link that leads to windows in which information is presented or the features of a process of the software application can be used, the interface automatically (or by invocation of a link by the manager) returns to the organizational chart paradigm when the manager is finished using the information or working with the features. - Enabling the manager to build and manage the organizational chart directly in this way, and to navigate back and forth from the organizational chart paradigm to other informational and action screens, emphasizes to the manager the paradigmatic nature of the interface. That is, he can not only use the organizational chart interface for navigation through the functional features of the application, but he also can create and manage the structure, positions, and people of the chart itself.
-
FIG. 5 shows the drop downlist 84 that appears when the “my tasks” link is invoked. The list oftasks 86 is a shortened version of the task list shown inFIG. 1 . When any of the items on the task list is invoked inFIG. 5 , more detailed information about the task is revealed.FIG. 20 shows other examples of tasks, including tasks related to compensation and performance. - When the user invokes the
tree display style 44, the information about the organizational chart is portrayed as ahierarchical list 88 as shown inFIG. 6 . Theroot entry 90 at the top of the list represents the manager, Robert Alamar. Each position is shown in acompact panel 92 in the list. The information displayed in a panel is similar to but more compact than the information shown in a corresponding panel ofFIGS. 2 through 5 . For example, icons 87 correspond to the icons on earlier figures. The hierarchical levels of the list can be rolled up and rolled down by invoking + and −icons 93 in much the same way that portions of folder structures displayed by operating systems can be rolled up and rolled down. -
FIG. 7 shows similar information in the form of a table 95 (which is displayed when thetable icon 46 is invoked) containing fields fortitle 97, reporting to 99,requisition ID 101,candidates 103, andtasks 105. Within the table view, the selection of which records are displayed can be determined by the manager by invoking one or another of the choices in a drop down list 94. For example, by invokingOpen Positions 107, the table is limited to positions that have not been filled (as in the table shown inFIG. 7 ). - Some examples of an interface useful for a manager also could include features for building and managing the representation of all or a portion of an organizational structure.
- For example, as shown in
FIG. 8 , aportal page 100 for a CEO, Lynn Hobart, could include panes similar to the ones shown inFIG. 1 . By invoking theMy Team button 102, the manager is taken to the display, shown inFIG. 9 , of theorganizational chart 104 in which she is in the root position. (in some figures thesilhouette images 115 represent specific people whose photographs are not available). - Graphical elements shown on
FIG. 9 allow the manager to navigate and perform functions that help to render the organizational chart active and to serve as a user interface paradigm. For example, if the manger hovers over thedown arrow icon 108 below aposition panel 110, amessage 111 is displayed (FIG. 10 ) indicating a number of additional positions that lie immediately below the position associated with theelement 108. Clicking on theelement 108 produces the display shown inFIG. 11 of the portion of the organizational chart that has at its top the position ofFIG. 9 from which the screen ofFIG. 11 was reached, and under it the positions that are under that top-level position in the organizational structure. - The up
arrow 112 inFIG. 11 can be invoked to return to the display ofFIG. 10 , that is to the portion of the display that shows at its root the position above Robert Alamar, and also shows the rest of the positions under the new root position. - Referring again to
FIG. 9 , a panel that represents a position that is not currently filled can be displayed differently to enable the manager to invoke other functions associated with the status of the position. For example, thepanel 114 that relates to Maria Josephs is shown with an offsetunderlying box 116 and a smalldiagonal arrow 118. As shown inFIG. 12 , hovering over the arrow causes themessage 120 “Toggle to requisition associated with this position” to appear. Clicking on the arrow causes theunderlying box 116 to be displayed overlying thepanel 114, as shown inFIG. 13 . Thebox 116 displays information about theposition 117 and a link 119, in this example, to a requisition for the position. Atag 122 associated with thebox 116 identifies the position as In Process and that a Draft of the requisition exists. Thearrow 118 inFIG. 9 can be toggled to switch between the overlay ofFIG. 9 and the reverse overlay ofFIG. 13 . - Other kinds of information and other tags could be displayed in connection with the
box 116. - By clicking on the
question mark icon 124 to the right of the word Draft, the manager can view a help message 125 (FIG. 14 ) explaining what is meant by Draft. - Returning to
FIG. 13 , by hovering over theclipboard icon 126 next to the question mark icon, the manager can see (FIG. 15 ) amessage 128 indicating actions that the manager can take, in this case, viewing the requisition. By clicking on the available action description, the manager is taken to that process of the software application. - In addition to being In Process, a position can be identified as
Planned 129 and Budgeted (FIG. 16 ). Hovering over theclipboard 130 of such a position triggers a message 132 to be displayed that enables, for example, to request a requisition in accordance with the budget. - The identities and numbers of items that can be displayed as help messages, actions, and in other ways in the panels, panes, and windows of the interface can vary and can depend on available features of the underlying software application, available information in a database, roles played by the manager, and preferences expressed by the manager.
- As shown in
FIG. 17 , the techniques described above can be implemented using typical, generally available software, hardware, database, and communication platforms. A server (or multiple servers) 202 run asoftware application 206 that includesprocesses 208 that provide functions and information to managers useful in managing employees in an enterprise. The software application may in some implementations be run on user devices instead or on a combination of user devices and servers in a client-server mode. The software application creates, manages, and uses information in adatabase 210 that can be located with the server or servers, coupled to them, or located remotely and accessed by anycommunication link 203. The database itself may be distributed or centrally located. - The database contains, among other information,
organizational information 212 that includes positions in anenterprise 214, theirconnections 216, actions that can be performed with respect to thepositions 218, status of thepositions 220; display information that can define thestyles 224 of display elements, and their arrangement and presentation;information 226 about the managers who use the system including theirroles 228, theirpermissions 230, and details about theirregistrations 236 to use the system; personnel records of the usual kind maintained by anenterprise 234; and other information. - The server is accessible to
user devices links including networks 236 such as local area networks, wide area networks, and publicly accessible networks, including the Internet. Each of the user devices presents aninterface 244, for example, interfaces of the kind described above that include organizational chart paradigms. The user devices can be workstations, notebook computers, and telephones and other hand-held devices. Each of the devices can be used by one ormore managers - Other implementations are also within the scope of the claims.
- For example, the manager may be permitted to access and work with portions or all of organizational charts for positions and people that he does not manage. For instance, a human resources manager may have permission to see and take actions with respect to any part of the organizational chart of an enterprise.
