Within a few weeks, participants have a showcase value network project and receive our ValueNet Works™ Practitioner Qualification. Our application makes it fast and easy for people to collaborate in visualizing and analyzing both simple and complex value networks.
Qualification in Value Network Analysis
Value Network Insights™ supports many variations of value network analysis, including the ValueNet Works™ methodology developed by our founder, Verna Allee (www.vernaallee.com). We offer training in this methodology for those who wish to become qualified in the ValueNet Works™ method.1
ValueNet Works™ Practitioner Qualification
The Professional and Enterprise Editions offer an extensive Help Library with self-paced learning modules. You may qualify as a ValueNet Works™ Practitioner by passing our Qualification Test, which is based on the Help Library Topics.
ValueNet Works™ Advanced Practitioner and Facilitator
The Advanced ValueNet Works™ Practitioner and Facilitator qualification package includes the fee for the basic Qualification Test, a one-year license to the Professional Edition, and personal coaching for eight weeks to complete your first Value Network Analysis (VNA) project. Coaching is delivered virtually.
Group Qualification
We also offer in-house training for groups. Large companies often have internal consulting teams who provide services in organizational development or Lean Manufacturing. The ValueNet Works™ method integrates beautifully with other organizational performance tools and methods. We can train your own internal team of facilitators and analysts. In the course of supporting a value network project we usually qualify two to four members of the Project Team as qualified practitioners of the ValueNet Works™ methodology and in use of the Value Network Insights™ application.
