Visualizing and understanding the factors that drive performance is critical for any organization. A Value Driver Tree (VDT) is one powerful tool businesses use to break down high-level objectives into more granular components.

We understand the strategic importance of VDTs to organizations, and with that in mind, we’ve introduced a new visualization option in KaiNexus: the Hierarchy View. This feature is inspired by the principles of Driver Trees and combines the best aspects of our existing Detail and Tree Views. The Hierarchy View visualizes Items in a tree-like structure, showing relationships between Items and how they contribute to an organization’s objectives.

How is the Hierarchy View helpful to me?

With the KaiNexus’ Hierarchy View, you can:

• Identify the most critical Items that influence your organization’s outcomes.
• Understand which levers to pull or resources to allocate to improve performance.
• Communicate strategy and performance drivers to stakeholders.
• Empower teams to collaborate effectively on organization-wide goals.

What’s the benefit of the Hierarchy View?

• Your organization can concentrate on activities that create value, aligning day-to-day operations and tasks with strategic objectives.
• Break down complex objectives into actionable Items, making it easier for stakeholders to understand what’s driving initiatives forward. 
• When issues arise, quickly trace back Items to find the root cause. The quicker you identify the source of the problem, the faster it can be resolved. 

Examples of how to use Hierarchy View in different industries

• Manufacturing: Map out the entire supply chain process. Analyze how changes in supplier performance or logistics strategies affect overall supply chain efficiency.
• Healthcare: Visualize patient care pathways and monitor how improvements in staff training impact patient outcomes and satisfaction.
• Financial Services: Analyze how different client engagement strategies affect portfolio value and customer retention.

Whether you're looking to improve decision-making, optimize performance, or communicate strategy more effectively, the new Hierarchy View offers a powerful tool to drive value creation and alignment across your organization.
