What sits behind it

Behind every node sits more than a box

Every organisational unit in the TAOM organisation model can be described in business terms and enriched with its operational context. Alongside structure and assignment, tasks, responsibilities, quality requirements, systems, outputs and controls are kept directly on the organisation object.

That turns an org chart into a living organisation model: you see not only who sits where, but also what a unit delivers, what it is accountable for, and which requirements apply to its work.

ElaborationMandate and activity · systems and applications · transactions · input and output · business context
QualityRisks · controls · evidence · defects · release criteria

Two separate views, because these are two different questions: What does the unit do? and under what conditions is the result acceptable?

An example from the model above

BAS · basis and technology

Overview

Purpose
Create and maintain the technical conditions for operation.

Systems
SAP Fiori

Transactions
IW21 CAT2

Output
Technical report · system configuration

Quality

Under what conditions the result counts

Risks
incomplete master data · contradictory information · outdated technical specifications

Controls
Completeness · plausibility · version and status

Evidence
Test certificates · CoA · technical approvals

Release
Only once quality defects are resolved and the evidence is complete.

Relationships

What the unit hangs on

People Roles RACI
Processes Systems Requirements
Decisions Knowledge Tests

If one of these connections changes, it takes effect where the work happens – not just in the picture.

Same model, different organisation

Because an organisational unit is an object in the digital twin and not a drawing, the same structure carries beyond a project as well:

Project organisation
Program Management → PMO → Streams → Teams
Company organisation
Management → Operations → Supply Chain → Production → Quality
Process organisation
Global Process Owner → Process Owner → Process Expert → Key User
Hybrid organisation
People · external partners · AI workforce – in the same chain, with a human at the end.
The organisation viewer is therefore not a separate application but one more view of the same TAOM objects – alongside process, knowledge, delivery and governance.
Do not think of TAOM as another editor. It is the shared working context between people, AI and enterprise systems.
