"Now that I know the value networks methodology I would not consider doing a six sigma, Lean or any other kind of project without first doing a VNA to provide the ' systems' context for the initiative."

Value network modeling brings breakthrough improvement:

Provides greater resilience and flexibility in business processes.

Defines critical human interactions that support any business activity.

Innovates organizational and work design, especially complex processes.

Reveals the hidden network patterns that drive business process performance.

Example: Rapid restructuring for a major new product line

 

At the Boeing Company launch of a complex and revolutionary new product created a need to significantly expand daily product testing without a corresponding increase in resources. Using Value Network Analysis (VNA) in combination with process engineering, the flight test team completely changed the business unit model and dramatically increased the number of tests that could be performed. VNA is now being used by trained ValueNet Works® facilitators to achieve similar gains in productivity for other business units within the company.

Example: A matter of life and death – scheduling for heart surgical procedures

 
At one of the largest, most respected medical clinics in the U.S, Mayo Clinic, patients were frustrated by waiting up to six months to get a confirmed appointment for a critical medical procedure. The problem stubbornly resisted efforts for improvement. ValueNet Works® analysts identified a key bottleneck that other management tools, including Lean analysis, could not identify and reduced the wait time to four weeks.
Lean, Six Sigma, and system dynamics experts use VNA as a next generation management tool to understand context prior to launching improvement projects.

Project management professionals use value network analysis to quickly clarify roles, relationships, deliverables, and timelines for project launch.

 

Value Networks are endorsed by the newest edition of industry process standards for the Service Strategy Life Cycle in the Information Technology Infrastructure (ITIL3). They are also validated in eToM – enhanced Telecom Operations Map and will be supported in the new Object Management Group OMG standards for a Value Delivery Modeling Language (VDML).
