Organisations as Living Systems
Value Networks and Measuring Intangibles

We are delighted to invite you to this online event which will take place on Tuesday, 7th November at 16:00 CET (don’t forget winter time).

“Interest in intangibles and corporate transparency has increased as business thinking evolves from bureaucratic and mechanistic models to more organic perspectives emerging from biology and living systems theory. Yet, many people working in the intangibles arena, including knowledge management, inappropriately apply traditional business methods, tools, and frameworks to intangibles. This fundamentally different understanding of business and economic activities requires new approaches”.

“The key business question is, “How is value created?” The traditional answer to that question is – “through the value chain.” The value chain model, however, is a linear, mechanistic view of business that is based on the industrial age production line. This type of limited process perspective is woefully inadequate to understand the complexities of value in the knowledge economy. Further, most approaches to analyzing business relationships have not taken into account the role of knowledge and intangible value exchange as the real foundation for value creation.”       Verna Allee, A Value Network Approach for Modeling and Measuring Intangibles.
