SECTION 05 | VALUE AND FUTURE STATE

Value is determined by the recipient.

The strongest opportunities occur when customer value, provider value, stakeholder value, and economic value reinforce a future state worth pursuing.

Mutual value is not the same as customer satisfaction.

A customer may value something that underuses provider strengths or creates weak provider economics. A provider may offer capability that does not matter to the customer. Strong opportunities align both.

Future-state questions

  • What improves?
  • What risk is reduced?
  • What becomes possible?
  • Who benefits?
  • What must remain stable?
