What's the value of your CPS solutions?

2 Value for what?

The next step is to define what value means for your specific problem or opportunity. Your solutions should have a clear purpose, goal, or outcome that aligns with your vision, mission, or strategy. You can use tools such as SMART objectives, logic models, or impact maps to articulate and quantify your desired results. You can also use indicators, metrics, or benchmarks to track your progress and performance.

3 Value for how?

The final step is to consider how you will deliver and sustain your value. Your solutions should be feasible, viable, and scalable, meaning that they are technically possible, economically profitable, and adaptable to different contexts and situations. You can use tools such as SWOT analysis, business model canvas, or lean canvas to evaluate your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You can also use experiments, pilots, or minimum viable products to test your assumptions and learn from your failures.

4 Communicate your value

Once you have evaluated your value, you need to communicate it effectively to your audience. You can use tools such as stories, pitches, or presentations to convey your message in a compelling and persuasive way. You can also use evidence, data, or testimonials to support your claims and demonstrate your impact. Remember to tailor your communication to your audience's needs, interests, and preferences.

5 Improve your value

Evaluating and communicating your value is not a one-time activity. You should always seek to improve your value by learning from your feedback, results, and experiences. You can use tools such as reflection, debriefing, or after-action review to identify what worked well, what didn't work well, and what can be improved. You can also use tools such as brainstorming, ideation, or innovation to generate new ideas and solutions.

6 Enhance your value

Finally, you can enhance your value by collaborating with others who share your vision, goal, or outcome. You can use tools such as networking, partnering, or co-creation to build relationships, exchange resources, and create synergies. You can also use tools such as recognition, appreciation, or celebration to acknowledge your achievements, express your gratitude, and motivate your team.
