The second edition builds on the success of the first edition by extending the integrated value philosophy, methodology and tool kit to describe the application of Value Management to the areas of service delivery, asset management, and, Programmes, in addition to Projects, products and processes. Value Management is a well-established methodology in the international construction industry, and in the UK has been endorsed as good practice in a range of government sponsored reports. In this book the authors have addressed the practical opportunities and difficulties of Value Management by synthesising the background, international developments, benchmarking and their own extensive consultancy and action research experience in Value Management to provide a comprehensive package of theory and practice. The second edition retains the structure of the first edition, covering methods and practices, frameworks of value and the future of value management. It has been thoroughly updated, and a number of new chapters added to encapsulate further extensions to current theory and practice. In particular, the new edition responds to: A range of recent UK industry and government publications; and most notably BS EN 16271:2012 - Value management: Functional expression of the need and functional performance specification; the imminent update of BS EN 12973:2000 Value Management; BS EN 1325 Value Management -- Vocabulary, Terms and definitions; the changes to "Value for Europe" governing the training and certification of Value Management in European Union countries; the UK Government’s Management of Value (MoV) initiative, together with other leading reports, international guidance and standards on Value Management.

Book Synopsis Value Management in Healthcare by : Nathan William Tierney
Download or read book Value Management in Healthcare written by Nathan William Tierney and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-10-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nathan Tierney’s powerful storytelling is rarely seen in today’s health care business environment. We must redesign the health care delivery system---a team sport in service of patients, hold it accountable with measurement to improve outcomes, and quantify the resource costs over the full cycle of care. Value-based health care is a framework through which these goals are achieved, and Tierney provides a detailed playbook to get your organization there. Outlined in incredible detail and clarity, he presents core concepts and dives into the key metrics needed to build, maintain, and scale a successful value-based health care organization. Nathan shares a realistic vision of what any CEO should expect when developing their own Value Management Office. Nothing is more important to me than improving the lives of those I love. My personal mission is to create systemic change with an impact on the global stage. This playbook needs to be on the desk of every executive, clinician, and patient today." -Mahek Shah, MD, Senior Researcher and Senior Project Leader, Harvard Business School Our current healthcare system’s broken. The Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) predicts health care costs could increase from 6% to 14% of GDP by 2060. The cause of this increase is due to (1) a global aging population, (2) growing affluence, (3) rise in chronic diseases, and (4) better-informed patients; all of which raises the demand for healthcare. In 2006, Michael Porter and Elizabeth Teisberg authored the book ‘Redefining Health Care: Creating Value-Based Competition on Results.’ In it, they present their analysis of the root causes plaguing the health care industry and make the case for why providers, suppliers, consumers, and employers should move towards a patient-centric approach that optimizes value for patients. According to Porter, "value for patients should be the overarching principle for our broken system." Since 2006, Professor Porter, accompanied by his esteemed Harvard colleague, Profesor Robert Kaplan, have worked tirelessly to promote this new approach and pilot it with leading healthcare delivery organizations like Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, MD Anderson, and U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs. Given the current state of global healthcare, there is urgency to achieve widespread adoption of this new approach. The intent of this book is to equip all healthcare delivery organizations with a guide for putting the value-based concept into practice. This book defines the practice of value-based health care as Value Management. The book explores Profesor Porter’s Value Equation (Value = Outcomes/ Cost), which is central to Value Management, and provides a step-by-step process for how to calculate the components of this equation. On the outcomes side, the book presents the Value Realization Framework, which translates organizational mission and strategy into a comprehensive set of performance measures and contextualizes the measures for healthcare delivery. The Value Realization Framework is based on Professor Kaplan's ground-breaking Balanced Scorecard approach, but specific to healthcare organizations. On the costs side, the book details the Harvard endorsed time-driven activity based costing (TDABC) methodology, which has proven to be a modern catalyst for defining HDO costs. Finally, this book covers the need and a plan to establish a Value Management Office to lead the delivery transformation and govern operations. This book is designed in a format where any organization can read it and acquire the fundamentals and methodologies of Value Management. It is intended for healthcare delivery organizations in need of learning the specifics of achieving the implementation of value-based healthcare.

Book Synopsis Value Management by : Roger H. Davies
Download or read book Value Management written by Roger H. Davies and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-02-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Change programmes in both private and public sectors have a poor record of delivering their intended value. The reasons given most often for their failure include lack of executive support or buy-in from key users, loose requirements definition, weak programme management, and plain wishful thinking. They rarely include technical limitations. Value Management puts forward the view that the true problem lies in failing to understand the causal links between the intended stakeholder outcomes and the actual programme outputs. Repeating the pattern of failure can be avoided by asking two questions: - Before implementation, what capabilities must a change programme deliver, when and in what order so as to cause intended value against a defined purpose with speed and certainty? - During and after implementation, what minor adjustments and/or major shifts are needed to be certain that the programme remains on purpose and on value? and two answers to be given: - Target, time and align change programmes to deliver maximum intended value to stakeholders - the baseline business case - track and respond to changes during and beyond implementation to ensure that the programme actually delivers or exceeds intended value - value realisation. The authors show how, by asking and answering these questions, direction and delivery of any programme can be clarified and greater economic value achieved.

Book Synopsis The Standard for Earned Value Management by : Project Management Institute Project Management Institute
Download or read book The Standard for Earned Value Management written by Project Management Institute Project Management Institute and published by Project Management Institute. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earned value management (EVM) is a management methodology for integrating scope, schedule, and resources; objectively measuring project performance and progress; and forecasting project outcome. It is considered by many to be one of the most effective performance measurement and feedback tools for managing projects. The Standard for Earned Value Management builds on the concepts for EVM described in the Practice Standard for Earned Value Management and includes enhanced project delivery information, by integrating concepts and practices from the PMBOK® Guide – Sixth Edition and The Agile Practice Guide. A central theme in this standard is the recognition that the definition for value in EVM has expanded. While the term retains its traditional definition in terms of project cost, it embraces current practice by including the concept of earned schedule. This standard also integrates hybrid methodologies that blend together historical EVM concepts with the needs of the agile practitioner, all with an eye towards aiding the project team in enhancing overall project delivery. This standard is a useful tool for experienced project management practitioners who are seeking to expand and update their knowledge of the field as well as less experienced practitioners who want to learn other approaches for managing project performance. It provides insight and detailed explanations of the basic elements and processes of EVM, and demonstrates how to scale EVM to fit varying project sizes and situations. This standard includes graphical examples and detailed explanations that will enable the reader to establish and implement EVM on projects in almost any environment and of almost every size. When used together with good project management principles, EVM methodology will provide a greater return on any project and results that will directly benefit your organization.

Book Synopsis Earned Value Project Management by : Quentin W. Fleming
Download or read book Earned Value Project Management written by Quentin W. Fleming and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earned value is a project management technique that is emerging as a valuable tool in the management of all projects, including and, in particular, software projects. In its most simple form, earned value equates to fundamental project management. This is not a new book, but rather it is an updated book. Authors Quentin Fleming and Joel Koppelman have made some important additions. In many cases, there will be no changes to a given section. But in other sections, the authors have made substantial revisions to what they had described in the first edition. Fleming and Koppelman's goal remains the same with this update; describe earned value project management in its most fundamental form, for application to all projects, of any size or complexity. Writing in an easy-to-read, friendly, and humorous style characteristic of the best teachers, Fleming and Koppelman have identified the minimum requirements that they feel are necessary to use earned value as a simple tool for project managers. They have also witnessed the use of simple earned value on software projects, and find it particularly exciting. Realistically, a Cost Performance Index (CPI) is the same whether the project is a multibillion-dollar high-technology project, or a simple one hundred thousand-dollar software project. A CPI is a CPI ... period. It is a solid metric that reflects the health of the project. In every chapter, Fleming and Koppelman stick with using simple stories to define their central concept. Their project examples range from peeling potatoes to building a house. Examples are in rounc numbers, and most formulas get no more complicated than one number divided by another. Earned Value ProjectManagement--second edition may be the best-written, most easily understood project management book on the market today. Project managers will welcome this fresh translation of jargon into ordinary English. The authors have mastered a unique early-warning signal of impending cost problems in time for the project manager to react.

Book Synopsis Value Management by : Roy M. Woodhead
Download or read book Value Management written by Roy M. Woodhead and published by Thomas Telford. This book was released on 2001 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value Management (VM), as a decision-making process, enables stakeholders to enhance the value provided by a project. While this often leads to cost savings, more importantly, it seeks to provide the best outcome for a project by considering a variety of assessment criteria. These assessment criteria allow customers and other stakeholders to recognise the project as 'preferable' to other alternatives. This report is one of the few to look at Value Management from the client's procurement prospective. Based on extensive empirical research over a period of one year in the UK, it examines why clients use Value Management, how they use it, and what benefits they achieve by applying it. This publication acts as a third-party facilitator helping both clients and providers improve VM. The text provides a comprehensive summary for those wishing to improve organisational Value Creation for all stakeholders and explains how to improve Value Management in a structured way to enhance competitive advantage.Value Management: improving capabilities provides a toolkit to help individual clients and their suppliers structure conversations from which both parties can agree 'what' and 'how' improvements can be made to their VM processes. By reading this report and then using the self-assessment and self-improvement sections, readers will be in a position to reap the benefits that Value Management can bring to their organisation and to its projects.
Book Synopsis Strategic Value Management by : Marek Jablonski
Download or read book Strategic Value Management written by Marek Jablonski and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of value-based management is present in many areas of business and management. Value as an economic category determines strategic choices, the investment attractiveness of business models, competitive advantage, and the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization. Value is a key factor that determines the occurrence of business transactions. It is subject to valuation in terms of company purchases and sales, mergers or restructuring. It determines the rationality of designing business models. A value proposition is a factor that determines whether a company with a particular business model will succeed or not. Value is also important in non-profit organizations and building smart cities. It is everywhere. The exchange of value is the basis for an economic and social approach to the modern economy. The dynamic perspective of value-based management is particularly evident in the emergence of new concepts related to the Digital Economy. New trends in value migration, value capture, and value retention are the features of a network economy, where the exchange of value has not only an economic aspect, but a social aspect above all. Difficulties in valuing companies in the digital economy are unambiguous. Intangible values are currently a decisive factor in shaping the approach to building new and innovative business models. The reason for deciding to produce a book entitled Strategic Value Management and the Dynamic Perspective was due to the great interest in scientific research concerning this area. Substantial needs in the field of discovering the determinants responsible for effective value-based management also result from the needs of business practice. Therefore, the monograph issued to the readers is highly interdisciplinary. It presents the findings of scientific research and the analyses of authors from many research centers. The authors of individual chapters, indicating modern trends and directions of the development of value-based management, prove how broad the concept is and how important it is in terms of contemporary management. This book is intended for management theoreticians and business practitioners interested in effective value-based management in a dynamically changing environment. It can also be an inspiration for business consultants in terms of the implementation of the modern concepts of value-based management in modern companies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative strategic management solutions for today's market Strategic Value Management addresses common problems among business managers and other professionals involved in thinking about developing and managing organizations. In it, author Juan Pablo Stegmann integrates all strategic management and business strategy into an innovative standard that introduces key metrics to strategic management and stock value creation.

His new approach indicates that every strategy has a clear dollar metric, which can measure its consequences of the strategies in terms of stock value. Competitive and growth strategies are analyzed along with economic, financial, dynamic, and contingent approaches Includes a companion CD-ROM, which contains Stegmann's proven model for strategic management and stock value creation Ethical consequences of strategic decisions are introduced-showing how ethics are linked to long-term stock value creation Explains the roots of the current financial crisis by examining the link between the financial world and strategic management, and proposes possible solutions For any looking to enhance their understanding of this discipline, Strategic Value Management offers a new conceptual model for thinking about business strategy and its link to stock value creation.
Book Synopsis Earned Value Project Management - Fourth Edition by : Quentin W. Fleming
Download or read book Earned Value Project Management - Fourth Edition written by Quentin W. Fleming and published by Project Management Institute. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations that follow the principles of good Earned Value Management (EVM) create an environment that allows teams to successfully operate and thrive — even in the face of challenges that could negatively impact their projects.Earned Value Project Management (EVPM) is a methodology used to measure and communicate the real physical progress of a project taking into account the work completed, the time taken and the costs incurred to complete that work. As a result, EVPM allows more educated and effective management decision-making, which helps evaluate and control project risk by measuring project progress in monetary terms.In the first two editions of Earned Value Project Management, Quentin W. Fleming and Joel M. Koppelman provided guidance for project management practitioners already familiar with EVPM, was well as those who were new to the use of this technique. The third edition expanded the information available on of EVPM for medium and smaller projects while still being relevant for larger projects. An important addition to Earned Value Project Management – Fourth Edition is the discussion of the two perceptions of the EVM concept. Both are valid, but one is better suited to the management of major projects while the other appropriate for use on all projects. The authors cover both perceptions in this book, with a bias in favor of simple, broad-based EVM for use on all projects.
