Proof of Value Network Online Archive

December 2006,

The Proof of Value Network was a think tank project that ran for two years between January 2005 and January 2007. The mission of the project was to explore how a value network of expert practitioners could join their thinking power to help organizations create strategic capabilities for the 21st century organization.

Over the two years we have teamed in different configurations - online aswell as offline - in a dialogue with clients, partners, other thoughtleaders and the public to learn how our joint capabilities could be of help to organizations meeting the challenges of the 21st century. In order to explore this question we pooled our competencies in knowledge management, value networks, intellectual capital, innovation and portals and collaboration software.

This website is the online archive of the project. It contains reports, articles and profiles of the project participants.

Feel free to explore the site and learn about the activities we undertook. Some valuable lessons were learned. After a final evaluation we decided to finish the formal project and focus on evolving our own roles in the networks we live and work in. We all have a broader and more integral view of our subject as a result of our collaboration.
