3. MoV® Principles (7)

3.1. What are principles?

3.1.1. Principles are factors that underpin MoV®.

3.1.2. Principles are universally applicable statements.

3.1.2.1. Principles are generic principles - the way in which they are applied must be tailored to suit the organizational circumstances, whilst ensuring the underlying rationale is maintained.

3.1.2.2. Prainciples are the common, universal and high-level factors that underpin success.

3.1.2.3. They provide guidance to organizations.

3.1.2.4. They guide the organization on what to aim for.

3.2. 1. Align with organizational objectives

3.2.1. MoV® applications are fully aligned with the organization’s strategic objectives.

3.2.2. A consistent approach is applied across all projects and programmes.

3.3. 2. Focus on functions and required outcomes

3.3.1. Focus on functions and required outcomes, in terms which clearly state what value means for the organisation .

3.3.2. MoV® focuses on the functions that are necessary and sufficient in order to deliver the required programme and project outcomes and outputs in terms that clarify what value means for the organization, so providing the basis for making decisions that lead to maximum value.

3.3.3. We need to work out what we are trying to achieve before we start thinking about what to deliver.

3.3.4. supported by

3.3.4.1. Product functions (not outcomes or outputs)

3.3.4.2. Value Drivers

3.3.4.3. Value Profiles

3.3.4.4. Value Trees

3.3.4.5. Function Analysis System Technique (FAST)

3.4. 3. Balance the variables to maxinmize value

3.4.1. MoV® engages with all key stakeholders, reconciling their objectives to balance benefits and their delivery against the total use of resources, thereby maximizing value.

3.4.2. Effective stakeholder engagement will identify differing needs, to allow a balance of benefits to be defined that is acceptable to everyone.

3.4.3. supported by

3.4.3.1. Engegement of stakeholders

3.4.3.2. Reducing subjectivity

3.4.3.3. Balancing the use of resources

3.4.3.4. Balancing benefits realized against use of resources

3.5. 4. Apply MoV® throught the investment decision

3.5.1. MoV® is applied through all stages of the total lifecycle of the programme or project. Its focus will evolve as it moves from stage to stage and progress should be continually monitored

3.6. 5. Taylor MoV® activity to suit the subject

3.6.1. MoV® is tailored to suit the project’s environment, size, complexity, criticality and risk.

3.6.2. A small and simple project is unlikely to require the same level of effort as a complex one.

3.7. 6. Learn from experience and improve

3.7.1. MoV® applications encourage learning from experience and improvement by recording previous experience, creating an audit trail of decisions and actions and sharing lessons across all projects.

3.7.2. Build on the good experiences and avoid repeating mistakes.

3.7.3. supported by

3.7.3.1. Invidual improvement

3.7.3.2. MoV® Process improvement

3.7.3.3. Organizational maturity improvement

3.8. 7. Assign clear roles and responsibilities and build a supportive culture

3.8.1. MoV® applications are supported by clearly defined roles and responsibilities. The organizational structure should engage the business, user and supplier stakeholder interests to build a supportive, value-adding culture.

3.8.2. Without commitment and buy-in, MoV is unlikely to be wholly successful.

4. MoV® Processes (7)

4.1. 1. Frame the programme of project

4.1.1. Goal

4.1.1.1. Understand the rationale behind the project or programme and the objectives to achieve.

4.1.2. Involves gaining an understanding of the objectives and issues that need to be addressed, taking into account the organizational context and external factors. Information gained can be used to support or challenge the need for the project.

4.1.3. Activities

4.1.3.1. Initial briefing meeting

4.1.3.1.1. As soon as a project / programme has been identified for the application of MoV®, Senior MoV® Practitioner, or MoV® Study Leader if identified, should meet ith key project stakeholders to stablish the requirements for the MoV® Project Plan.

4.1.3.2. Informing the business case

4.1.3.2.1. The main objective of an MoV® Study at the outset, or start up, of a programme or potential project is to strengthen existing information

4.1.3.2.2. An MoV® Study at this stage may be used to inform an OGC Gateway 0 or 1 Review

4.1.3.3. Stakeholder analysis

4.1.3.3.1. In MoV®, stakeholder mapping is used to ensure that the appropriate stakeholders are consulted or involved in the MoV® processes

4.1.3.3.2. Stakeholders are grouped according to their degree of influence (or power)

4.1.3.3.3. Stakeholders with less power but great interest can form strong allies

4.1.3.4. Use of a value profile to inform programme and project objectives

4.1.3.4.1. There is no point in starting a project unless there is agreement on its purpose.

4.1.3.4.2. MoV® helps to identify the primary Value Drivers and relate them to the project objectives using a weighted Value Tree, this technique, known as Value Profiling

4.1.3.5. Developing the MoV® Project Plan

4.1.3.5.1. MoV® Project Plan will describe the purpose of a series of MoV® Studies to be undertaken throughout the project and how they will be implemented

4.1.3.5.2. Identify suitable candidates to lead and participate in the MoV® Studies

4.1.3.5.3. Prepare specific management responses to value-improving proposals (VIPs)

4.1.3.5.4. The risk of delay in authorizing the implementation of these proposals should be minimized

4.1.3.5.5. The use of the MoV® Project Plan ensures that all participants understand the need for each study and what improvement is sought

4.1.3.6. Responding to changes in the business case

4.1.3.6.1. If the business case changes, the MoV® Project Plan must also change in order to ensure that the value profile reflects the changed needs of the business.

4.1.3.7. Specialist applications

4.2. 2. Gather Information

4.2.1. Goal

4.2.1.1. What are the expectations from the MoV® Study, who do we need on the MoV® Study Team, who are the stakeholders, what are their needs.

4.2.2. Involve as many different stakeholders as possible in order to understand the expectations from the project under study, identify suitable team members, understand stakeholders’ needs and other project-related information.

4.3.1.2. Analyzing the gathered information to form useful input to the MoV® Study.

4.3.2. The MoV® guide gives details of some of the more commonly used techniques, such like FAST or Value Trees.

4.3.3. Function analysis is a key feature of MoV® and is based on the following fundamental questions:

4.3.3.1. What is the purpose? Until you understand the purpose of something, its value cannot be assessed.

4.3.3.2. How else could this be achieved? Once you understand the purpose, alternative ways of performing or delivering the function may be identified, which may perform better or be less costly.

11.2.1. Function Analysis

11.2.1.1. What is it?

11.2.1.1.1. Why + How

11.2.1.1.2. Function Analysis challenges the assumptions most people make about how a product or service satisfies a need.

11.2.1.1.3. Asking How and Why a function accomplishes the need.

11.2.1.1.4. As used in MoV®, function analysis is very closely focused on customer needs and wants.

11.2.1.1.5. The fundamental logic underlying all function analysis is to ask ‘Why (do we want to do this)?’ to move from lower-order functions to higherorder functions and to ask ‘How (do we propose to do it)?’ to move in the opposite direction.

11.2.1.2. Identification of functions (at the heart of value management) of products, processes, projects or services.

11.2.1.3. Determines what functions are delivered, i.e. what they do or must do, not what they are (avoiding solution mode).

11.2.1.4. There are 2 main methods of Function Analysis:

11.2.1.4.1. Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagrams

11.2.1.4.2. Value Trees (a.k.a. Objectives hierarchy) and useful derivatives

11.2.2. Function Cost Analysis (FCA)
