1. A method to prioritize capability gaps, comprising:
determining, for each of a plurality of business objectives, a weighted effectiveness, criticality, and differentiation (ECD) score; and
determining, by operation of one or more processors, a priority value for each of a plurality of capability gaps based on: (i) the weighted ECD score of each business objective, and (ii) a degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective, wherein each priority value reflects a degree of importance of a capability subject to the respective capability gap.
2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
generating a graphical user interface (GUI) conveying the respective priority value for each capability gap; and
outputting the GUI for display.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving capability data for each of a plurality of capabilities, wherein the capability data comprises current levels and desired levels of fulfillment of each of the capabilities; and
identifying the plurality of capability gaps based on differences between the current levels and desired levels with fulfillment of each of the capabilities.
4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, for each business objective, an effectiveness value, a criticality value, and a differentiation value determined according to a first predefined equation comprising:
Weighted ECD score=(11\u2212Eff)*(Crit)*0.510+(Diff)*0.5.
5. The method of claim 4, wherein the priority value is determined according to a second predefined equation comprising:

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving, for each capability, support values indicative of the degree of support the respective capability gap provides towards fulfilling each business objective.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the capabilities comprise information technology (IT) capabilities.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A metal-over-metal (MOM) device having at least one device cell on a first layer, each cell comprising:
a frame piece; and
a center piece surrounded by the frame piece having a cross-shape center portion defining four quadrants of space between the frame and center pieces;
wherein the center piece has one or more center fingers each extending from at least one of the four ends thereof within a quadrant;
wherein the frame piece has one or more frame fingers extending therefrom and each being in at least one quadrant and not being overlapped with the center finger in the same quadrant.
2. The device of claim 1 wherein a first set of two center fingers being parallel to each other and extending towards a first and second opposite directions.
3. The device of claim 2 wherein a second set of two extended center fingers being parallel to each other and extending towards a third and fourth opposite directions.
4. The device of claim 3 wherein the frame finger is parallel with the center finger in the same quadrant.
5. The device of claim 4 wherein the first and second sets of the center fingers are perpendicular to each other.
6. The device of claim 4 wherein the center finger is perpendicular to a first portion of the cross shape center piece that it extends from.
7. The device of claim 4 wherein the frame finger is situated on an inner side of the center finger so that it is closer to the center of the center piece.
8. The device of claim 1 further comprising one or more connection points on the center and frame fingers of the device cell on the first layer connecting to at least one MOM device cell on a second layer vertically aligned therewith, wherein the center finger on the first layer connects to a frame finger of the MOM device cell on the second layer, and the frame finger on the first layer connects to a center finger of the MOM device cell on the second layer.
9. The device of claim 1 wherein at least one side of the frame piece is connected to an external connection point.
10. The device of claim 1 wherein the frame piece is at a first voltage level and the center piece is at a second voltage level.
11. A multilevel metal-over-metal (MOM) device group having one or more MOM devices on a first layer connected to one or more MOM devices on a second layer, each of the MOM devices comprising:
a frame piece; and
a center piece surrounded by the frame piece having a cross-shape center portion defining four quadrants of space between the frame and center pieces, the center portion having a horizontal component and a vertical component;
wherein the center piece has four center fingers each extending from one of the four ends thereof and being parallel to either the horizontal or the vertical component of the center portion, and wherein each quadrant has only one such center finger;
wherein the frame piece has four frame fingers each extending from one side thereof, each being in one quadrant and being parallel with the center finger in the same quadrant.
12. The device group of claim 11 further comprising one or more connection points on the center and the frame fingers for connecting each device on the first layer to at least one device on the second layer.
13. The device group of claim 12 wherein the frame fingers of the devices on the first layer connect to the center fingers of the devices vertically aligned therewith on the second layer through the connection points.
14. The device group of claim 12 wherein the center fingers of the devices on the first layer connect to the frame fingers of the devices vertically aligned therewith on the second layer through the connection points.
15. The device group of claim 11 wherein a center finger extending from an end of the center portion of a first device on the first layer is in a different quadrant than the quadrant in which a center finger extending from a same end of center portion of a second device on the second layer connected with the first device.
16. The device group of claim 15 wherein the center finger of the first device and the center finger of the second device extend in opposite directions.
17. The device group of claim 15 wherein the frame piece of the first device and the center piece of the second device are on a first voltage level.
18. The device group of claim 17 wherein the center piece of the first device and the frame piece of the second device are on a second voltage level.
19. The device group of claim 15 wherein the frame finger is closer to the center of the cross-shape center portion than the center finger in the same quadrant.
