INSIGHTS: HOW TO CALCULATE THE MOST VALUABLE ANSWERS: DEVELOPING ADDED VALUE ARITHMETIC

Abstract

We need to re-define how we and the public, private and voluntary sectors agree and then manage projects, investments and organisations. How should we calculate what are the best actions to take which will result in the most added value to the stakeholders? At present many initiatives result in failure to deliver acceptable results and profits. Without analysing Brexit here, consider our transport system, energy supplies, healthcare and social security mechanisms, education provisions, housing, justice, prisons and security systems, Carillion and Capita and other ‘privatised’ systems, finance and banking, hedge funds and short sellers, LIBOR and FOREX.
