ValueViewpoint AI-powered tool creates and designs tech business cases and Executive Reports as Minimum Viable Products, emphasizing essential data for rapid and informed decision-making. This approach streamlines the process by eliminating unnecessary steps and extraneous information, avoiding the complexities and high costs associated with traditional ROI studies.
Technology requirements can change multiple times during the traditional business case development process, which lasts 2-3 months. Like a tech MVP, lean business case development emphasizes quick, essential information delivery and adaptability, which is ideal for the tech industry's fast pace. In contrast, traditional methods provide detailed analysis but are slower and less flexible to changing technology requirements within their 2-3 month timeframe.
Value Viewpoint (VVP) excels in developing compelling and practical business cases and ROI models for any technology imaginable. Drawing on years of experience with elite consulting and tech firms like Kearney, SAP, AWS, and Google, I specialize in cloud-based technologies and have spent the last decade concentrating on business cases for cloud migration.
The aim of any technology ever created and built in the world is either simplifying or automating some kind of workflow or business process. Typically, tech solutions are designed to improve specific aspects of a company's operations. We rely on in-depth research and analysis to identify these areas and measure the potential benefits. Our extensive collection of process metrics, benchmarks, and value drivers allows us to pinpoint opportunities for improvement quickly. For example, consider how Facebook has streamlined processes like content and ad management, significantly reducing the time spent on tasks such as managing greetings and birthdays.
Each business case we develop is tailored to the specific technology and industry, emphasizing its value. Our analysis thoroughly examines the industry's value chain and relevant data points.
Traditional technology sales cycles often take 12-18 months, but we've developed strategies to shorten this timeline significantly. Most of the impact comes from the value justification phase, which comes after technical validation in the sales process. By focusing on a clear value proposition and utilizing tailored metrics, we've helped clients reduce deal closure times by 50-80%. This can accelerate your sales cycle to between 2 and 6 months. Another exciting data point is that ROI models could double the conversion rate from lead to contract.
Accuracy is ensured through industry benchmarks, historical data, and input from our research, built over time data, and your team, focusing on realistic and defensible assumptions and projections. We do not overwhelm users with unnecessary calculations. Instead, we follow the principle advocated by Aswath Damodaran: 'Say more with less.
SaaS platform where technology vendors can collaborate with pre-qualified customer prospects around the research and justification of business benefits and uplifting sales play to customer C-suit. It will help tech start-ups and enterprise sales executives boost conversion rates, increase decision speed deal size, and lower the overall cost of sales.
Lean - means the avoidance of unneeded manual work that could be automated, such as unnecessary research loops, avoidance of data mining rabbit holes, by using predefined industry process performance benchmarks, use of the most critical investment decision metrics, automation of business benefits, calculation of risk-adjusted discounted cash flows from those benefits, time-bound ROI modeling, report structuring, and graphical design. Those time-consuming activities shave off almost 90% of the time you could spend on more strategic activities. Like in a tech MVP, you get only “meat on the bone” without complimentary features and numerous “bells and whistles.
Value Viewpoint value assessment methodology is based on the lean principle and uses an outside-in business case development approach. Outside-in means that the initial value hypothesis, data gathering, and ROI model are built with minimum data inputs on publicly available information, which, after validation with the customer, gets populated with more customer-specific data.

VVP Generates a decision-making dashboard that uses neutral colors, the location of data boxes and graphs, and only consists of essential decision-making metrics. It was designed by behavioral scientists to accelerate data consumption and analysis in seconds. Fina's report is structured on SCR (Situation-Complication-Resolution) and the pyramid Minto principle. All benefits are checked on MECE that are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive.
The Pyramid Minto Principle is a structured approach to communication, particularly in business writing and presentations. It's named after Barbara Minto, a former McKinsey consultant.
The principle is based on the idea that information should be organized in a pyramid structure, with the most important point at the top and supporting details below. This structure makes it easier for the audience to understand and remember the key message. Here's a breakdown of the Pyramid Minto Principle:
Situation: Briefly describe the context or background of the topic.
Complication: Explain the problem or challenge that needs to be addressed.
Question: State the key question or issue the presentation or writing will answer.
Answer: Provide the main point or conclusion that addresses the question.
Supporting Points: Present the supporting evidence or arguments supporting the main point.
The Pyramid Minto Principle can be used to:
Organize thoughts and ideas: It helps to structure information logically and coherently.
Improve communication: It makes it easier for the audience to understand and remember the key message.
Enhance persuasion: It can build a strong case for a particular point of view.
The Pyramid Minto Principle is a powerful tool for effective communication. This structured approach ensures that your message is clear, concise, and persuasive.
