Verna Allee, CEO, ValueNetworks.com, reflects on the growing interest in understanding business processes as networks and how value network modeling provides a fresh approach. I encourage you to watch and learn more. People banter about the terms of Community, Collaboration and Co-Creation with little thought on what they mean or what structure it takes to create them. Listen to Verna explain how they fit into a typical organizational structure.
Verna has a book that is completely web-based and free at Value Networks and the true nature of collaboration
P.S. Verna is an upcoming guest on the Business901 podcast.

I enjoyed this clip – wise words from a voice of experience… My simplistic brain jumps to the idea of a process architecture (i.e. seeing processes as blocks and building them into an overall network understanding the touch points / inputs / outputs etc) however I think the lady is probably getting at more… Will have a look at the website – thanks for posting
Reply – Sean, take a look at her website and print the map out and just try it. I never understood it till I did that ( took me a couple of times)/
