How to read the diagram

  • The hexagonal cycle at the center is the six COMPEL stages. Learn loops back into Calibrate.
  • The three enablers above operate across every stage — they are not standalone phases.
  • The left panels show entry points: start from an assessment, a role, a framework, or a technology.
  • The right panel lists framework-neutral implementation capabilities each stage needs.
  • The principles bar at the bottom shows which principles span which stages.
