RE: Value Networks for Website Designers

We have used website analysis for a number of objectives. A website value network in its basic form can be done in under an hour. It is a great introduction to Value Networks for any customer. They immediately enter a discussion and very quickly understand the concept of value network. Additionally, it can be used to explore the immediate networkk of the organisation in question. Although it has to be noted, that a website is usually an idealised picture rather than reality. Also, it displays more tangibles than intangibles due to the nature of the medium. Therefore, tangible/intangible indicators don't have much meaning.
And then, there is much deeper analysis of the website: Intellectual Capital Assets; the collaboration network; idealised wider industry networks and the wider network through web crawls.
