The version changes when an object or module is added, moved or removed — not when a text is improved — so a citation keeps pointing at the same structure.

How to cite it

Cite the version you used. Where you refer to a particular object, add its address, for example Business Core · Finance · Cash flow, and the page URL.

Cite it as a structure for reasoning, not as evidence for a claim: it is descriptive rather than predictive and has not been empirically validated as a predictive model. The established models placed in it should be cited from their original sources, which each model page gives.

Licence

The written framework and its diagrams are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence. You may use, teach, adapt and build on it, commercially too, as long as you name the author, link to the licence and say what you changed. The terms page has the details and a ready credit line.

The models placed in the framework belong to their originators. The Omnigoal describes them in its own words and is neither affiliated with nor endorsed by any of them.

How it is maintained

Every part of a business is meant to have exactly one address. That rule is checked automatically each time the site is built: every object, module, component and model must resolve to one place, and two pages may not claim the same thing without the boundary between them being stated.

What the checks cannot find is a part of a business with no home at all, a connection left unnamed, or a model credited wrongly. Those are found by the people using it — please send them in.

What changed

  1. Version 1.0 27 September 2026

    • Six new objects where parts of a business had no home: Technology, Organisation, Governance and Innovation in the Business Core; Culture and Responsibility in the Vision Core.
    • New modules: Funding and capital, Investment appraisal and Tax in Finance; Entering new markets in Market Opportunities; Build, buy or ally in Long term goals.
    • Boundaries stated once where two objects had come to describe the same thing, among them the two customer journeys, core and brand values, and the three kinds of reporting.
    • The model library corrected against original sources, and extended to the new objects.
    • The Omnigoal’s own purpose, mission, vision and brand promise rewritten to the standards the framework sets for them.
  2. Version 0.9 22 August 2026

    • The full hierarchy published: eight cores, their objects, modules, components, elements and a shared library of attributes.
