1. A method of analyzing plural capabilities of an entity, comprising:
- inputting data regarding the plural capabilities of an entity; and
using a capability model to detect a capability pattern among said plural capabilities, and identify a symptom associated with the capability pattern, the capability model grouping the plural capabilities into plural domains, and plural functional areas which span the plural domains and include a group of related capabilities of the plural capabilities; and
generating an action plan based on said capability pattern and the symptom, the action plan identifying a functional area of the plural functional areas to be addressed to resolve the symptom,wherein for a capability of the plural capabilities, the capability model includes a description of the capability, plural maturity values which are independently defined for the capability, and plural descriptions associated with the plural maturity values,wherein the capability pattern comprises a rule indicating a relationship between the plural capabilities of the entity, andwherein the using of the capability model comprises generating a capability profile for the entity, the capability profile comprising a graphical representation of the maturity values of the plural capabilities of the entity, and using the capability profile to detect the capability pattern.
