The Value of Networks
Value networks and value networks analysis are superior methods for understanding, visualizing and leading knowledge-based and network-centric organizations.
Dr. Henning Kagermann, Chairman and CEO, SAP AG, the central nervous system of 47,000 companies worldwide, is transforming the firm's software products and service offerings to master, "... not only value chains but entire value networks."
This open, non-commercial Value of Networks Summit is a gathering of experts, practitioners, sponsors, leaders, users and members of the broad industry value networks consortium. All are welcome.
Value Networks Consortium
Giant ERP vendor Oracle is urging customers, "... to evolve their companies' supply chains into value networks ..." says Stephen Slade, Oracle Director.
Value networks are redefining operations, tactics and strategies in the smartest organizations. They provide the roadmap to transform process orientation into the network-centric future. Value networks achieve mastery of intangibles for the knowledge economy.
"Now that I know the value networks methodology, I would not consider doing a six sigma, lean or any other kind of project without first doing a VNA to provide the 'systems' context for the initiative." -- Glenda Turner, Boeing, Supply Chain Integrator, Integrated Defense Systems
Value networks and value network analysis are becoming commonplace in top global firms. Value networks drive improvements in resource utilization, productivity, innovation and sharply improved performance overall.
Firms like WalMart have discovered the spectacular business advantages of transforming from a supply chain mentality to a value networks philosophy. "Value Networks aid our understanding and ability to address key issues and opportunities in our business," says the WalMart Corporate Website.
Value networks fundamentally expand and redefine the scope, value and importance of intangibles to business, economies and civil society. Value networks contribute to sustainability, resilience, innovation and growth in the world's largest companies, organizations, countries and broad economic zones.
The Value of Networks Summit is sponsored by participants only. The venue for this open leadership retreat is the stunning Kingbridge Centre's Learning Laboratory, located just minutes outside Toronto and conveniently accessible from Toronto International Airport.
Among the themes and luminaries appearing at the Value of Networks are:
