The CPM AI Capability Taxonomy combines broad set of specialized with generalist skills.

The kernel of the taxonomy are the enterprise capabilities, which are basically derived from the enterprice architecture management framework from TOGAF. TOGAF was developed by members of The Open Group, working within the Architecture Forum (www.opengroup.org/architecture). The CPM AI Capability Taxonomy is further augmented with the concept of System Dynamics, which was developed by Jay W. Forrester in the 1950s. This methodology is particularly used for modeling and analyzing the communication loops and time delays that characterize complex systems.

​

Key components of system dynamics include:

1. Stocks and Flows: In system dynamics, systems are represented by stocks (accumulations) and flows (rates of change). Stocks represent the accumulations or quantities, and flows represent the rates of change into or out of the stocks.

2. Feedback Loops: Feedback loops are a crucial aspect of system dynamics. They can be reinforcing (positive) or balancing (negative). Reinforcing loops lead to exponential growth or decline, while balancing loops bring a system back toward equilibrium.

3. Time Delays: Recognizing and incorporating time delays in the system is an essential part of system dynamics. Time delays can significantly impact the behavior of a system and its response to changes.

4. Causal Loop Diagrams: These diagrams are used to visually represent the feedback loops within a system. Arrows indicate the causal relationships between different components.

5. Simulation Models: System dynamics often involves building computer simulation models to represent the behavior of a system over time. These models can be used to test different scenarios and understand the implications of various policy decisions.

​

System dynamics is applied in various fields, including business, economics, ecology, public policy, and engineering, to model and analyze complex systems that involve dynamic interactions and feedback loops. It provides a holistic view of how different components of a system interact and how changes in one part can affect the entire system over time.

Specialized capabilities suchs as System Dynamics and but also other concepts slike trend prediction models including best practice consulting methods complements all the other capabilities.
