Cluster Abstract and Benefits

The Washington, D.C. Fall 2008 Cluster Action/Research themes are value networks and network analysis. Over the last several years network archetypes and analysis have exploded onto the productivity, innovation, collaboration, community, commercial, organizational and institutional scene. A relatively mature and established discipline, network analysis is now being applied broadly with stunning results. A lot of new applications have emerged and new, innovative practices have been discovered. The non-commercial, open, low-cost and authentic action/research conversations will cover this territory and equip you with the following specific benefits and advantages.
 

-Develop leadership skills in value networks;
-Be able to define and elaborate value networks and VNA;
-Learn the synergy of value networks, process engineering and system dynamics;
-Understand how to plan and apply value network analysis;
-Develop relationships with value network leaders and users;
-Become active in the global value networks and VNA community;
-Describe value network users organizations and their advantages;
-Transform yourself and organizations to the value networks perspective;
-Greatly expand your value network and analysis capability VNA application technology;
-Elaborate how value networks and VNA expands and improves current methods such as Lean, TQM, 6-Sigma, Hoshin, ISO-9000, OD/OL, System Dynamics, Baldridge, etc.

Your clusters are 100% governed, sponsored, funded and led by participants.

Cluster facilitators are internationally recognized thought leaders in bringing forward new business methods for the networked, knowledge-intensive enterprise. Their combined experience across multiple industries always generates multi-faceted insights and dialogue.

Who should attend Enterprise Value Networks?

1. Executives, directors and managers;

2. Business leaders, brokers and subject mater experts;

3. Entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs.

The value networks methodology is the best way to identify, analyze, evaluate, prioritize and manage and lead more competitive networks. Why is this possible?

1. Focus on business value networks in addition to supply chains, processes, transactions and social networks;

2. Consideration of roles, networks and transactions in addition to organizations and processes;

3. Leverage of community values and transorganizational value models.

Value propels organizations. Networks are how organizations are defined. Yet, well-meaning people continue to focus on information access, transactions, process, frameworks and productivity only. The same people freely admit 80%, 90% or even 100% (service/support networks) of their business and value is based on intangibles, yet they continue to only focus on transactions and tangibles!

This value networks cluster will show you how organizations use VNA Network Intelligence offering for all three levels of network analysis –

1. Process to Network (BPM);

2. People to Network (SNA/ONA);

3. Network to Value (VNA).

Value and knowledge span artificial and administrative organizational boundaries. It is time to reorient many business and knowledge-based activities to the concept of value and value networks. Your federated action/research network will examine value networks in depth. You will gain the models, analysis tools, methods and language needed to elaborate and optimize value networks.

Social computing, social networks and network analysis are also a foundation of these emerging value webs and networks. They help define the pathways and topologies for effective value networks, knowledge management, collaboration and productivity growth. These key techniques are also covered in-depth.

Innovation is important only as far as it creates value. Many innovation and productivity initiatives create little/no true value. Only through deliberate network mapping and visualization can value be uncovered, expanded and led. It is value that drives innovation. It's not product features, productivity, transactions or efficiencies. All innovation depends on value and value networks.

No one ever bought a product or recommended a company because the company was ‘productive.’ Customers expect and deserve broad value from their relationships. To win, keep and strengthen customers and business, value and value networks must be visualized and led.

 Value networks are omnipresent. They are instrumental in achieving breakthrough outcomes for all human activities, not just business. Many non-profits, government agencies, NGO and institutions are adopting value network archetypes to advance there missions and create spectacular outcomes.
