"The
Value Framework is an easy way for managers to structure their thinking
about strategy development! The problem with most strategy methodologies is that
it calls for a lot of content that most participants don't remember 6 months down
the road, the Value Framework is straightforward and easy to remember."
"Many
thanks for letting me test your methodology. I find the Value Framework
to be a very useful tool. In fact, we've just gone through a strategy exercise
that has taken quite a long time within our company, where we're rebuilding the
business plan and are very focused on getting the strategy communicated to the
employee base. I find the Value Framework to be a very trivial and very
intrinsic way to understand how to get all your thoughts together into a very
concentrated formula. Actually, I wish we had this tool before we spent the last
two months trying to do what we just did in an hour. Great stuff!!!" "I
think the Value Framework is a nice tool because it challenges people to
reassess where they are against the traditional building blocks of business as
opposed to taking a snapshot on where they are based on an arbitrary set of metrics.
Some of the building blocks will jump out at you as being important while some
will become important upon reflection." "The
Value Framework analysis is a framework for understanding and creating
a synopsis of an organization's strategic values. The exercise of creating this
framework and revisiting the results has provided us with a concise statement
about our core business and the job ahead." "I
found our 1x1 session leveraging the Value Framework extremely interesting
and useful to our company. It made me focus on our strategic priorities and the
rationale behind them. Most importantly, it gave me an easy way to prioritize
our strategic initiatives. "Strategic
planning is often shelved by time-strapped managers focused on core markets and
operations. Levy's Value Framework provides a simple, yet broad perspective
of business ecosystems, enabling a quick, painless study of both opportunity and
risk found within our business paradigms."
"After our meeting, I implemented a new business model that allowed me to
immediately bring in a recurring revenue stream that instantly added $12K to my
bottom line and $100k+ over the next three years. Your Value Framework went
directly to the point of highlighting opportunities for growing my business and
increasing my revenue stream and profitability. Thank you!"
"Working
with the Value Framework was intuitive and an effective use of my time.
It provided unique insight into my business strategy and at the same time offered
specific tactical recommendations that I was able to implement immediately. I
highly recommend the Value Framework to companies looking to refine business
strategies and align major business functions."
"Entrepeneurs
creatively substitute intuition and experience for analytics. As an unfortunate
side effect, they often fail to identify some minor but nonetheless crucial piece
of the puzzle. The Value Framework is a valuable way to test that
you haven't overlooked something essential."
"As
a venture capitalist, we're planning on using the Value Framework to help
our portfolio companies succeed."
"The Value Framework was a fascinating experience for
me! I am starting my fourth company and I was floundering when it came to communicating
the value in this idea and in figuring out what were the core parts of a winning
strategy. The process that Mitchell has created took me step-by-step through what
was a jungle of data and information and brings each piece into its proper perspective.
I don't know how he does it, but he just kept asking me questions and typing away
on his computer and within an hour, he had created an entire presentation that
was clear, concise and ready to be passed on to my staff. Thanks again!"
"Levy
and his Value Framework have hit the nail on the head of what companies
need to think about today in order to be successful tomorrow."
"As
a senior executive in several national based companies, I have been exposed to
many different strategy and analysis techniques for the benefit of an organization.
By far and away the approach taken by Mitchell Levy and the Value Framework
Analysis was far superior. It quickly, logically, and with a great deal of insight
got to the heart of issues and helped to set us on a path that can only be beneficial
from a strategic position with a clear cut path towards execution."
"The
Value Framework helped me realize that some seemingly lower-priority problems
in my business are actually quite influential."
