The Value Framework® has helped a number of companies, and individuals, put their arms around strategy development and implementation. It's been close to 3 years since the concept of the Value Framework® was first conceived. Since then, we've written over 25 articles, analyzed over 100 companies, have taught it at 5 academic institutions and delivered over 50 speeches. To dramatically increase this momentum, we're spinning it out of its current home on ECnow.com and combining it with the VMS3.info eZine.

Welcome to the first issue of the Value Framework® Institute eZine.

We will deliver an e-mail every other month, unless there's too much content to wait that long. If you have interest in contributing a story or would like your company analyzed, please let us know. There are two announcements with the kickoff of this institute:

1. We are proud to announce the appointment of IdaRose Sylvester to VP of Market Strategy. She will be driving the deployment of the Value Framework® to both corporate and academic markets. She is the primary interface for new users, and is looking forward to fielding your calls. IdaRose is a former high technology strategy executive and Gartner analyst. An excellent strategist, she excels at helping a diverse client base address and resolve strategy issues. She can be reached at idarose.sylvester @ valueframeworkinstitute.org, or 001-650-254-1429.
2. We've just introduced the 1-day Strategy Tuneup. We will spend 2 half-days with you to identify and suggest current and future business models as well as help you with your strategy roadmap. We are truly offering this service at an extremely low price and guarantee your satisfaction or your money back.
3. The US Patent and Trademark office has awarded us a Trademark on the term Value Framework®.

"As the new VP of Market Strategy, I look forward to sharing the Value Framework® with my clients. It is a pleasure to bring such a versatile, logical strategy approach to the market. As a strategist and market intelligence specialist, my highest accomplishment is helping companies succeed in the marketplace, as efficiently and quickly as possible. My first step for the Value Framework® Institute is to meet with you to learn your strategy needs and show you some ideas for how to improve your process in the future. In just 30 minutes, I will provide an overview of the framework, a quick analysis of your strategy concerns, and show you how you can proactively manage the strategy process no matter the challenges of the future. To better enhance the value of the framework, I would also appreciate your feedback on:

• How you would like to learn about the Value Framework®
• What topics you would like us to address in the newsletter
• Other comments you have about the Value Framework® and its applications

If you have a quick strategy question relating to a specific circumstance or would like our insight on something happening in your marketplace, please give me or Mr. Levy a call and we will be happy to help. Please contact me to set up a time for your 30 minute Value Framework® overview."
