QEEPP Starfish Diagram Illustrates Structural Integrity

QEEPP Starfish

The QEEPP starfish diagram visualizes the structural integrity and balance of the five QEEPP dimensions.

The five rays of the starfish reflect the five dimensions of the QEEPP framework: Quality, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Performance, and Productivity. This visual model is representing the interconnectedness of the five dimensions, the current state, and the structural integrity target.

Understanding the QEEPP Starfish Diagram

The outer starfish shape represents the ideal state, which reflects the goal of a fully structured transformation. The inner shape illustrates the QEEPP assessment of the current state. Irregular inner shapes signal risk, while smaller shapes indicate structural weakness or early development stages.
QEEPP Starfish Diagram Zones
Governance Zone  •  Shows the degree to which the transformation initiatives are aligned and monitored. Ambition Zone  •  Shows the level of optimization and preparation to scale. Stability Zone  •  Shows if the transformation is structured and stabilized.
How to Read the QEEPP Starfish Diagram
Outer starfish → Target state Inner starfish → Current-state assessment
QEEPP Inner Starfish Interpretation
Complete starfish → strong structural integrity across all five dimensions Balanced starfish → structurally coherent transformation Irregular starfish → structural imbalance requiring attention Small starfish → early-stage development or limited structural strength

Why the starfish represents the QEEPP model

Awareness and perception Starfish possess distributed sensing across their body, allowing them to respond quickly to environmental change.
Guidance and protection The starfish has long been used as a symbol of guidance and safe navigation.
Renewal and regeneration Starfish can regenerate lost limbs, symbolizing structural resilience and recovery.
Strength and resilience Starfish thrive in dynamic environments and adapt to changing conditions.
Balance and harmony The starfish’s radial symmetry reflects the balance and interdependence of the five QEEPP dimensions.
