Event-driven SIPOC map auto generated by the ProcessHorizon web app

The UN Counting what Counts initiative aims to establish a multidimensional governance dashboard beyond GDP by integrating human wellbeing, sustainability, resilience, inclusion & institutional quality into a coherent societal progress framework.

The following event-driven SIPOC process models operationalize four core dashboard domains:

  1. Human Wellbeing & Social Inclusion
  2. Sustainable Economy & Financial Resilience
  3. Environmental Sustainability & Climate Stability
  4. Governance, Trust & Institutional Quality

Each dashboard domain is represented as an event-driven governance process, with measurable indicators, aligned to a points-based architecture, suitable for national, regional or organizational governance.

1. Human Wellbeing & Social Inclusion dashboard

Measure whether societal systems improve quality of life, health, education, inclusion & social stability. Datapoints: Income, mortality, unemployment Observation Points: Social trend monitoring Event Points: Rise in poverty or healthcare stress Decision Points: Welfare or education policy changes Control Points: Public spending oversight Viewpoints: Citizens, vulnerable groups, policy makers

2. Sustainable Economy & Financial Resilience dashboard

Measure whether economic systems create sustainable prosperity, resilience, productivity & long-term financial stability. Datapoints: Inflation, debt, productivity Observation Points: Macroeconomic monitoring Event Points: Recession signals or financial stress Decision Points: Monetary/fiscal interventions Control Points: Prudential supervision Viewpoints: Citizens, investors, regulators, businesses

3. Environmental Sustainability & Climate Stability dashboard

Measure whether economic and societal systems operate within ecological boundaries and maintain long-term environmental resilience. Datapoints: Emissions, energy usage, pollution Observation Points: Climate monitoring systems Event Points: Floods, droughts, heatwaves Decision Points: Carbon policy or adaptation measures Control Points: Environmental regulation Viewpoints: Citizens, scientists, industries, future generations

4. Governance, Trust & Institutional Quality dashboard

Measure whether institutions operate transparently, ethically, inclusively & effectively. Datapoints: Corruption levels, trust scores Observation Points: Governance monitoring systems Event Points: Governance scandals or institutional failures Decision Points: Reform initiatives Control Points: Audits, regulatory enforcement Viewpoints: Citizens, investors, regulators, civil society
