• Topic: Getting Serious About Value Thinking
• Presentation Slides and Video posted after meeting
• Abstract:
  • Many people talk about value… about Value Streams, Value Flows, the continuous delivery of value.
  • But what does ‘value’ actually mean? Technically?
  • And what is the best simple way, to take action, to actually improve value for our customers?
  • I. The Story of Value: “the flow of value” is a metaphor. So what is the real story about value-to-customers?
  • II. What is Value? Technically? And is there an international Standard, for Value Discovery and Delivery? A global best practice, for New Product Development?
  • III. So how can we “do better” at delivering more value, to our customers?
• Bio: Richard Zultner has used Quality Function Deployment (QFD) since its introduction to the US in the mid-1980s.
  • He has been trained by Dr. Yoji Akao and Bob King in this quality system for assuring customer satisfaction.
  • He received the International Akao QFD Prize in 1998 for his work in Software QFD, and was selected as one of only two QFD Red Belts(R) (highest level) in 2000
