Summary: "1 Importance of Value Propositions No department within your organization has the copyright on generating good ideas. H. James Harrington Introduct ion Why would anyone write a book on value propositions? Why should you take time to read it? Well, value propositions are the first step in the process of transforming an idea or concept into tangible results. The value proposition is the document that should be used to drive all the significant change, growth, and improvement within an organization.

They are the going in assumptions about future research results. If uniquely proven true, the potential answers become conclusions that should fully address each issue. This book identifies key opportunities to provide value for the organization. It focuses analysis on necessary data collection efforts and provides direction and motivation for the improvement process. It details a method for continuous review of the improvement process and encourages timeliness through digital-setting and milestones"--Call number: Grundsignatur: 2016 A 1034PPN: PPN: 77573179X
