Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Here is an easy-to-read and brief, yet very informative, guide to improving performance and outcomes for executives and senior managers. Value Assurance (VA) is an overarching, business and functional performance improvement process. It is particularly effective for guiding business change initiatives, such as new systems to increase performance, as well as complex capital endeavors that will bring about significant or rapid change. So often, many programs and major projects (including products, systems and services) have failed to produce their expected performance. This can be due to a combination of ill-defined expectations, flawed planning and absence of appropriate controls, along with shifting managerial direction and waning stakeholder support. Despite a whole array of available management processes, tools and techniques, there is a general need for better coordination of the use of the various, accepted approaches to program, project, risk and value management. VA is a navigational and decision-enabling aid that establishes strategic direction and optimizes use of corporate resources as well as maximizing performance gains, shareholder returns and wider stakeholder satisfaction. It ensures balanced solutions and is applicable to both "hard" and "soft" types of endeavours. VA provides an integrated approach to developing and controlling programs, projects, products, systems, or services. The process is applied for the entire duration of a program from inception, through development and installation, to operation and final disposition. This is accomplished particularly through better coordination of the use of various accepted methods such as program, project, risk and value management, as well as other related tools and techniques. VA guides the setting of realistic targets and focuses on aspects that are most worthwhile, especially in terms of time, resources and return on investment. It provides a pro-active, holistic and systematic way of guiding team consensus-building and driving best value, through an end-to-end program / project delivery, planning and assurance mechanism. Key components of VA are strategic alignment, concept engineering, risk management, decision analysis, stage readiness assessments, value profiling & indexing, value improvement, program/project assurance, change management and systems optimization, along with other management tools as appropriate. This booklet introduces a creative/opportunity-based approach derived by integrating various management methods. Its purpose is to inspire a pro-active, holistic and systematic way of group thinking for driving best value, - through an end-to-end program/project planning, delivery and assurance mechanism.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This book is the first in the "Value Search, Closing the Gap" series and describes a holistic process for achieving successful programs, projects, services and products. The Closing the Gap series relates to program and project leadership, stakeholder consensus-building, informed decision-making, setting clear & transparent strategic direction, performance enhancement and effective change management for achieving real performance gains. The Overview book introduces a training and coaching system which enables participants to: formulate strategy; identify, select and develop innovative options; implement winning, fast track solutions; enable business decisions by providing decision -makers with a sound basis for their choice; apply successful group problem-solving techniques across a range of applications in any organization; systematically ensure successful outcomes and improve return on investment. This book is intended to provide a relatively "quick read" to stimulate interest in learning how to achieve better outcomes for a variety of endeavours. Further information is available in the companion publications of the series. Closing the performance gap successfully is not just a "quick fix", but it is attained through a measured series of pre-emptive management actions that are conducted from the initiation of an undertaking and throughout its life cycle. Managing for best value is a lifestyle that should be embedded into the culture of an organization. Value assurance provides a time-saving, practical approach to ensuring successful development and improvement of programs, projects, products and services in any field. It is scalable to large, small, complex or simple undertakings. However its most significant application is to large and complex programs and projects. The Value Search series has an international flavour that provides a comprehensive, firm and timeless grounding in the basics of a number of program and project improvement approaches. The series does not advocate yet another specific methodology, but encapsulates clearly a number of best practices for application and integration across a broad range of situations from strategic planning, through development and implementation to optimization of existing services. The books are based on the authors' combined 65+ years of practical experience and integrate a number of best practice techniques and tools for effective management and assurance of outstanding and sustaining results.
