People are saying...

“Using the Value Network methodology introduced new ways of approaching issues of scientific R and D and commercialization of scientific ideas."It is a practical method which involves thinking about the human dynamic to business success as well as deep analytics.” - Bernadette Doube, Director Project Ingenuity Ltd, former National Learning and Development Manager AgResearch Ltd

“VNA is an invaluable tool for anyone working with inter-organizational networks in particular. Its use of roles and exchanges produce a visual, thinking and conversation analysis that finally moves us fully into the network age.” Steve Waddell, Founder, Networking Action

 
“Working with ValueNetworks.com and using the modeling has been very helpful in understanding the different roles that all the actors have in our regional innovation system. I know a lot of the supporting actors have used the results of the work in trying to improve their offers to the customers.  Finding new ways of measuring success is necessary if we want to improve our innovation capacity in Skåne.” 
Carin Daal, Business Development Manager in Skåne, Sweden

ValueNet Works helps make networks visible and manageable.

 

Today, the number one priority for competitive advantage is innovation, and increasingly business networks are essential elements. The Value Network Analysis (VNA) approach to regional business development in Europe and the U.S. has been used to define network support structures for regional innovation.
 

Corporations manage alliance networks for great value and growth.

Regional development agencies better foster business clusters and regional networks.

Global activist networks more effectively deploy and activate resources.

Example: Improving EU competitiveness-European Commission ICT-RTD Research Programme FP7

The European Commission invests billions supporting innovation networks across Europe. In a critical evaluation we used VNA to identify four stages of network activation from idea to market. These four value network patterns were linked to economic performance and predicting Intellectual Capital formation at organizational and regional levels.

Example: Bringing an innovation to market

 

Dr. Paul Edwards, a VP with Boehringer Ingelheim, used the value networks modeling method to conduct a case study of how the breakthrough drug Viagra® was brought to market.
Example: Monitoring and improving global networks and emerging industries

Value Network Analysis is being bused to helping address changes in the global finance system and (in partnership with iScale and Omidyar Foundation) improve global networks working to prevent violent conflict and mass atrocities.
 
Example: Mapping a changing industry landscape

 

Journalism that matters project used value network analysis to map the present and future state of journalism.
 
Example: Improving regional innovation support networks

 

The VINNOVA regional development agency in Sweden used Value Network Analysis (VNA) to improve regional innovation support networks in the Skane region.
