Abstract
A method and system for utilizing dissimilarity among business components of a business. For each business process of N business processes of a business, N two-dimensional symmetric dissimilarity matrices are stored, wherein N is at least 1. A single dissimilarity matrix is generated, wherein if N=1, the single dissimilarity matrix is a copy of a two-dimensional symmetric dissimilarity matrix of the N two-dimensional symmetric dissimilarity matrices, and wherein if N is at least 2, the elements of the single dissimilarity matrix are a mean of corresponding elements of the N dissimilarity matrices. A rotatable spatial distribution of the business components, derived from the single dissimilarity matrix, is displayed to a user who subsequently selects one or more business components for usage in a manner that reflects the spatial distances between the displayed business components.
