Base Elements
At the intersection of all three facets, four generic base elements allow us to capture what is happening in an enterprise and its ecosystem, without focusing on a particular facet or intersection perspective: people perform activities, using and creating objects to achieve outcomes.
Everything that goes on in and around enterprises can be described with those base elements only.
This classification of enterprise elements is inspired by the FBS Ontology: outcomes represent an enterprise's actual or desired function, activity represents its behaviour over time, and objects represent the way it is enabled by structures.
