SIX VALUE MEDALS™
Injecting Value Into Business Proposals
Values are central to all our decisions, choices, actions and strategies. Everything we do is directed towards obtaining some value or delivering some value.
But though they are important, values remain vague for many people. We make decisions focusing on the more obvious values while ignoring the others, and have no clear means of gauging the impact of our decisions.
What the Six Value Medals Framework will give us is a means to focus on values in different directions, assess their strengths or size and pinpoint sources of conflicts a situation.
