1. A method for analyzing business performance and opportunities by generating one or more series of heat map views of business components by a plurality of dimensions, comprising:
- associating information related to a plurality of dimensions with one or more business components;
defining, by a processor, one or more dimensions from the plurality of dimensions, defining including at least selecting one or more dimensions from the plurality of dimensions, said plurality of dimensions including at least a time dimension, as-is and to-be dimension, and directional change for better or worse dimension;
generating one or more series of heat map views of the said business components by said defined one of more dimensions,wherein a heat map view by time dimension if selected shows a heat map per interval over a selected period, a heat map view by as-is and to-be dimension if selected shows enterprise strategy and current status, a heat map view by directional change for better or worse dimension if selected shows whether a business is becoming better, worse, or staying the same; and
presenting said series of heat map views of the business components by said selected one or more dimensions.

16. A system for analyzing business performance and opportunities by generating one or more series of heat map views of business components by a plurality of dimensions, comprising:
-
a processor; a configuration module operable execute on the processor and to define a plurality of dimensions of one or more business components, said plurality of dimensions including at least a time dimension, as-is and to-be dimension, and directional change for better or worse dimension; a dimension organizer module operable to transform a business component map comprising said one or more business components into a view with said plurality of dimensions to generate one or more series of heat map views of the said business components by said plurality of dimensions, wherein a heat map view by time dimension if selected shows a heat map per interval over a selected period, a heat map view by as-is and to-be dimension if selected shows enterprise strategy and current status, a heat map view by directional change for better or worse dimension if selected shows whether a business is becoming better, worse, or staying the same; and a multiple-dimension heat map presenter module operable to present said one or more series of heat map views in different dimensional perspective. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)

26. A program storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform a method for analyzing business performance and opportunities by generating one or more series of heat map views of business components by a plurality of dimensions, comprising:
-
associating information related to a plurality of dimensions with one or more business components; defining one or more dimensions from the plurality of dimensions, defining including at least selecting one or more dimensions from the plurality of dimensions, said plurality of dimensions including at least a time dimension, as-is and to-be dimension, and directional change for better or worse dimension; generating one or more series of heat map views of the said business components by said defined one of more dimensions, wherein a heat map view by time dimension if selected shows a heat map per interval over a selected period, a heat map view by as-is and to-be dimension if selected shows enterprise strategy and current status, a heat map view by directional change for better or worse dimension if selected shows whether a business is becoming better, worse, or staying the same; and presenting said series of heat map views of the business components by said selected one or more dimensions. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
