It it a brilliant rephrasing, David, thank you.

As of "existing Architectures, including a newish one called VPEC-T",
I will post some comments in my BLOG this week. In short, OASIS SOA

The customer support organization of a global technology services
provider reduced time to escalation by as much as 90% using network-
centric business intelligence, resulting in predictive competence in
Service Level Management. Specifically it became possible to identify
cases with a high probability of not meeting the Service Level

Michael, your pursuit of truth embodies the spirit of value networking
- note the verb.

The equation should embrace the Plato/Socrates view that emotion plays
a role in decision making and that change is motivated from within.
Every individual has their own view of reality and in order to
identify what is "true" a process of dialectic or competition of ideas

David, thank you very much for such resourceful references. I am
responding now before reading them, however.

I also think that this equation is incomplete and m hope was to
solicit the missed elements from this discussion.

I am trying to validate the statement: Value Networks generalises and

I would like to return back to the discussion topic and ask your
opinion on the following 'formula'

Process-centric Solution{Value Chain} + Intangible Business Values +
Execution Context =
Service-centric Solution {Value Networks}, where A{B} stands for 'A
based on B'

John,

first of all, please, accept my congratulations because not many have
"converted ... from an enterprise IT infrastructure to a hybrid
approach that includes Cloud services" successfully. The key-word to
me in your message is 'hybrid': I believe that full IT departure into
Clouds is a the major enterprise mistake while a hybrid solution for

David, I agree with you on 'compatibility' between the VNA and the
concept of Execution Context.

As of formal/informal-innovation-pol icy, from the Governance
perspective the thing is considered formal if it is regulated by a
policy, written in the policy. I would disagree with the statement
"largely unfolds within informal networks" because 'formal networks'

Yes, that's me - that is my doctoral dissertation. I'm humbled to
think it may be useful, no matter the context!

I can provide the accompanying paper if you think that may be useful.

Hi,
This is a conversation I would love to engage (headed out on holiday in a bit though) - in my position I have converted us from an enterprise IT infrastructure to a hybrid approach that includes Cloud services. Obviously I have a position, since I'm staking my career there, but I'd love to learn more. One thing that may mark me as an outlier: I represent a non-profit Foundation rather than a business operating in a market defined by competition for revenue.

VNA in the Execution Context

I am curious if anybody knows about the results of VNA applied to the
Cloud Computing.

In my BLOGs in ebizQ I expressed several doubts with regard to
business VALUE offered by the Cloud Computing Technology model to the

Michael, I see little distinction between the way you describe the
function of “Execution Context” and VNA’s capability of battening down
formal process when needed.

I think you are spot on in suggesting that VNA be applied to the
creation of Execution Context in conjunction with a level of
