Quanta Value Network? (QVN)

‘QVN is a new set of architecture guidelines and approach to business model design and transformation that focuses on the positioning and linking together of services within a more open, collaborative and boundaryless digital world, supported by three foundational digital frameworks’

It’s time for a new way of thinking!

Quanta Value Network? fundamentally looks in a different way at the services being offered in the market. It questions which services are truly differentiated, which services are shared/commodity and where new innovative service opportunities exist.

Its objective is to provide clarity of strategic thought and decision making in service positioning. It will improve the competitive positioning of organizations through optimizing current commodity/shared service costs. It will also maximize future revenue potential in two areas: the improved and extended differential positioning of existing lead services and the recognition of net new innovative services that can be introduced. Its design principle is to look at the world from a collaborative outside-in view and not through an inside-out ‘own environment’ only position.

Quanta Value Network provides architectural guidance to a new approach for business model design – Value Pathway?. This includes strategic, collaborative and detailed views across three framework perspectives to give a complete 360 degree context: from a user consumer and personal point of view; from an organization point of view; and from the newer collaborative broker/industry opportunity view.

From an operations sense the approach allows for continual service monitoring, adjustment and learning to maximize successful usage. This approach won the global architectural excellence award when used with a world leading Pharmaceutical company.

Today’s business environment is getting more complex. There seems a ‘perfect storm’ of many initiatives and trends all requiring answers and immediate attention.

These include:

• Increasing standardization on common/commodity 'shared' services
• Everything being innovative and digital
• Big data and improved insights from analytics
• The proliferation of the 'Internet of Things'
• New customer experience engineering

Simply put, QVN provides a context in which to cover these items and make the necessary strategic decisions.

This is the first of a series of short publications from Vincigravitas that will dive deeper into the Quanta Value Network thinking and architecture design guidelines/frameworks - looking forward to your support and comments/collaborations on this topic moving forward!
