Why use VDM

What differentiates our Guides is that they are

Value focused explicitly designed to eliminate value loss from projects and dramatically increase the value realized. Individually and cumulatively they form the basis of ‘Value Delivery Management’.
Business aligned explicitly designed to be easily used by (previously project inexperienced) business managers and staff to ensure they get all of the results that they desire from their projects.
Process based each Guide focuses on a single project delivery process end-to-end and incorporates the steps of all of the relevant roles in that process — business, governance team, PMO and project team. This put everyone ‘on the same page’ literally and metaphorically.
Strategy enabling explicitly designed to enable the controlled implementation of an organization’s strategy, allowing the actual results to be tracked and measured against the strategic intent. Where relevant certain Guides link into the strategic planning process.
Innovative introducing new concepts and ways of defining and delivering projects that reduce project workload, simplify project governance and maximize the business value targeted and delivered.
Change oriented able to translate highly technical (and all other types of) projects into mainstream, easy to plan and manage change projects that deliver progressive results, minimizing their net cost to the organization.
Research based the result of over 19 years of worldwide research into the true drivers and destroyers of project value and the discovery of new, simpler ways of delivering projects, their business outcomes and value.
Neuroscience based leveraging the latest worldwide neuroscience research (“deep smarts”®) into how people think, learn and adapt, so that the approaches and steps are simple to use but highly effective in execution.
Structured each Guide is contained within a ‘value delivery management program’ of like-focused or sequential processes so that the same thinking can be applied to a series of related activities (eg from benefits identification to their eventual realization or all dimensions of project risk management).
Integrated yet individual each Guide is useful in itself but its usefulness increases when used in conjunction with other associated Guides
Fully supported with each Guide comes relevant bonus material and the opportunity to access a topic-specific “reference library” that provides additional material to enable the successful use of each Guide.
This is the first set of business-based, strategy enabling, process-oriented, value focused project Value Delivery Management Guides that can be used by anyone in the organization to contribute to, support, supplement and manage the success of the project. They move beyond ‘project management’ to ‘value delivery management’ - the next step.
