Value as the Name of the Game

Value should be the key driver and main target of any transformation initiative. Value has impact on top line, bottom line, green line and there are multiple dimensions, how value can be measured, discussed in this chapter. The distinct path to value provides a structured approach from identifying, framing and realizing value. This approach not only allows to quantify and prioritize value opportunities, but also to engage with process owners who realize and report value. A positive business case is crucial to establish the initiative not as a cost driver, but as a net value driver and lays the foundation for a fair cost allocation, for which alternatives are presented.
