OpenValueNetwork

open value network

Wikipedia:Value_Network

Value networks (value webs), are complex sets of social and technical resources that work together via relationships to create value in the form of knowledge, intelligence, products, services or social good. Included in a company’s value networks are research, development, design, production, marketing, sales, and distribution - working interdependently to add to the overall worth of products and services. Companies also have external facing value networks where value is created from the relationships and interactions between organizations, its customers or recipients, intermediaries, stakeholders, complementors and suppliers. Value network principles apply equally well to public agencies, civil society organizations and other purposeful networks focused on creating economic or social good.

OpenValueNetwork(s) expand on Value Networks, by incorporating the possibility to open different processes and exchanges up to a broader base of volunteer, but reciprocated participants. The Value Network approach seeks to add value to all exchanges in a Wikipedia:Value_Chain. Including voluntary or traditionally non-compensated participants in OpenDevelop?(ed) projects related to business webs.

The OpenValueNetwork approach also seeks to create effective ways for many independent-actor and small group business ventures to create and use OpenValueNetwork models.

Types of Value

There are generally two different types of “value”: Tangible and Intangible.

TangibleValue

TangibleValue represents visible resources. It is generally related to money exchanges, or other exchanges of value that are rooted in money/funding.

IntangibleValue

IntangibleValue is just as critical, but more difficult to see and measure from the outside. Intangible value includes things like knowledge exchanges and relationship building.

Open Value Metrics

As illustrated with many examples, such as ReputationBudget, and Karma:Homepage, there are methods for creating metrics of tangible exchanges and resources (money, time, supplies, goods) and intangible exchanges and resources (knowledge, trust, relationships, information).

For knowledge, trust, and relationships, an emerging model is copupling an IdentityCommons? (eg OpenID] with flexible and open SocialNetworkSoftware? (eg FOAF), and embedding work in wikis, blogs, and other network-medium-enabled content with OpenValueMetrics?.

Microformats are one possible platform for building OpenValueNetworkMetrics?.

OpenValueNetworkMetrics? can expand into many different indexes, such as network environmental sustainability, netowork social equity (from the Wikipedia:Triple_bottom_line model).

OpenValueNetworkMetrics? can also measure tangible and intangible local conditions, like LocalAssets.

The point of OpenValueNetworkMetrics? (and OpenValueNetwork models in genral) is to create systems for “managing value creation through nodes by favoring accumulation and multiplication and reducing dissipation (see: Communiting).

The concepts at SynergizeWorkflows, and on SynergizeSocially, are very inter-related to OpenValueNetwork concepts. The goal of the OpenValueNetwork model is to add value through the network. This is partially enabled by processes to SynergizeWorkflows and SynergizeSocially.
