Core Concepts

Core concepts explain the building blocks of the ValuePact value workflow and how they connect across the Intelligence, Value Studio, and Deliverables workspaces.

In this section

  • Value Realization — tracking forecasted value through to realized outcomes.
  • Business Cases — packaged, defensible value arguments produced as deliverables.
  • ROI Calculations — calculator-driven return analysis built on drivers and formulas.
  • Benefits Tracking — monitoring expected versus achieved benefits.
  • Stakeholders — the people and roles mapped during discovery.
  • Value Metrics, Outcomes, Forecasts, Actuals — the measurement layer behind value models.

How the concepts fit together

  1. During Intelligence, you capture signals, identify value drivers, attach evidence, and map stakeholders.
  2. In Value Studio, drivers and formulas feed ROI calculations and a value model, which is expressed as a narrative.
  3. In Deliverables, the model becomes a business case with CFO, executive, and technical views.
  4. Forecasts set expected value; actuals capture realized value; value realization compares the two over time.
