Relationship management
Relationship management typically just focuses on managing information about customers, suppliers, and business partners. A value network approach considers relationships as two- way value-creating interactions, which focus on realizing value as well as providing value. Sub focus on "Politics", "Diversity", "Handling conflict".

Market space strategies and investments
Identifying lucrative and powerful investment opportunities requires the ability to quickly assess a complex environment and accurately map the current and emerging market space. A value network analysis helps identify, analyze, evaluate, prioritize, and manage investments in market spaces — ranging from providing seed capital through joint venture financing and support of management buy-ins or buy-outs.

Reconfiguring the organization
Change is all there is. Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, expansion to new markets, new product groups, new partners, new roles and functions — anytime relationships change, value interactions and flows change too.
>>1st December
Fast-track complex process redesign
Product and service offerings are constantly changing — and so are the processes to innovate, design, manufacture, and deliver them. Multiple, inter-dependent, and concurrent processes are too complex for traditional process mapping, but can be analyzed very quickly with the value network method.
For each of the five meetings, the following format was adopted.
Focus on one candidate application of value networks
>> apply VNA thinking
>> expose opportunities for:
>>>>>>incorporating as users,
>>>>>>applying as advisors.
Open up meeting to "Anything on the table" as an application
Identify difficulties encountered with methodology generally. Post up for resolution
Adopt, adapt and improve "messages" for CEO's to open up new and authentic forms of assistance that can be delivered profitably.
