Value System Model

A Value System describes a network of organizations interacting from raw materials to delivered products and services within an Enterprise to deliver value to customers / stakeholders. Each organization in the Value System takes on a role, such as, supplier, channel partner, support organization (banks, regulatory, consulting, etc) and the relationships. See the list below.

Each organization in the network of organizations represents a set of capabilities used to deliver value. Each organization has core capabilities that can be described using a capability model. The Value Chain is an example of a capability model for an organization in a value system.

The organisation (central organization)) is placed at the center of the model. any other organisations such as generic or specific customers, suppliers, government organisations, etc. are placed in relation to the other organizations.

Each box in the value system is an organisation; each of the interactions are described. Each of the organisations may have a more detailed description with specific information about the organisation, its capabilities and the influence.

Use brainstorming capabilities to identify the raw materials at the start of the start of the network of organizations.

Identify the organizations that deliver the raw materials to the Central Organization.

Identify the organizations deliver the finished goods to the end customers or channel partners.

• If delivered to a channel partner organization, Identify the intermediate organizations before the finished goods get to the end customers.

• If delivered to an integrator partner organization, identify the intermediate organizations before the finished goods get to the end customers.

A UML Object Diagram or the Class Diagram are useful ways to model the value system as a network of organizations.

See the value system description for examples of value systems.
