Notes:

This diagram illustrates where the “data” context of enterprise improvement would interface with the top layers of a technical architecture such as the OSI 7 layer protocol stack.

The top level of the OSI 7 layer model is the “Application” layer, while the bottom layer of the enterprise improvement hierarchy would be an “Application” to enable interactions within the enterprise.
