Value modeling is a science that cannot be improvised. Critical business decisions from product development, through marketing to pricing and sales are based on value models. Consequently, many people need to apply the proper techniques, steps and value assessment methods to support these important decisions. There is no other way around this! The key question thus becomes where to find the most relevant and actionable information with which to build a value model and to perform Economic Value Estimation (EVE®).
The information available about value modeling is highly fragmented. The LeveragePoint website is the best place to find the most relevant literature and case studies on the subject. There are books touching on the process of dollarization, monetization and other methodologies. They are, however, incomplete, too theoretical and in some cases even obsolete. This is why Steven Forth and I decided to make a contribution to the field of value management by creating a comprehensive eBook listing all relevant and modern information about value modeling. This 116-page eBook is a theoretical but also practical user’s guide providing anyone who is interested with a step-by-step approach, practical examples, dos and don’ts of value modeling, a glossary and a list of resources. In this book, we provide fifteen examples of value models across several industries and business contexts. Each model shows the value drivers and variables used to build the value model. This type of real world example is not available anywhere else.
