The ArchiMate motivation viewpoint in three bands Nine ArchiMate motivation elements sort into three bands: why change is needed, what outcome is wanted, and which principles, requirements and constraints shape the answer.
The ArchiMate motivation viewpoint in three bands
Three stacked bands of ArchiMate motivation elements for London Grid Distribution, read top to bottom with left-anchored titles. The top band, drives the change, holds a stakeholder, a net zero driver and a connection queue assessment. The middle band, sets the aim, holds the goal decarbonise the network on a soft accent tint as the spine, an outcome and a value. The bottom band, shapes the answer, holds a principle, a requirement and a RIIO-ED2 constraint. A solid accent arrow runs down the first column, the accountability chain from stakeholder through goal to principle; a dashed accent arrow runs down each other column as influence. Every arrowhead meets a card at its edge centre.
Drives the change Why change is on the table Ofgem and the board Hold the network to account Stakeholder Net zero targets Statutory carbon commitments Driver Connection queue growing Demand outpacing capacity Assessment
