Value leadership means integrating the Value Methodology into our core technique to help our clients optimize the projects, products, and services they deliver. It means offering the framework to solve virtually any problem and optimize the value of any project. It means being structured specifically to address managing, planning, coordinating, facilitating, and documenting comprehensive value improvement studies. It means managing value, risk, performance, decision analysis, cost and economic modeling, probabilistic estimating, and training (live and e-Learning). It means knowing when each of these is necessary to optimize value. That’s value leadership, and that’s VMS.
