If You are in this Job ..
How would You do this ?!
Status Quo
VDML Vision
Business Model Innovation

How to represent these ? How to relate these ? How does the
business operate, as a value-creating system, based on these ?

=> We need a modeling language !
New modeling language: VDML
VDML Purpose
• Supporting value-driven business design
• Turning your business into a value network
– Focuses on the flow of deliverables and contributions of value
» Contributions of value by activities
– Provides higher level of abstraction of the business
» What it does, how it performs, who is responsible

• Addressing business challenges
– Finding the most profitable model and efficient partnership
arrangement for your business at given point in time.
– Complexity of many service capabilities provided, delivered
and managed across organization/company boundaries.
» Computerized models to help better analyze and manage
these complexities for decision making.

Some VDML Definitions
• Value: Measurable factor of benefit, of interest to a
recipient, in association with a deliverable
• Value Proposition: Expression of the values offered to
a recipient evaluated in terms of the recipient’s level of
satisfaction
• Capability: Ability to perform a particular kind of work
and deliver desired value
• Collaboration: Collection of participants joined
together for a shared purpose or interest
VDML Concepts
Business Model & VDML
Value propositions
Customers
Network partners
Activities

Value formulas
Capabilities

Similar to but simpler than Osterwalder (source: Peter Lindgren, NEFFICS)
Role Collaboration (Customers)

Activitity Network (Activities)

Capability Management (Capabilities)

Value Proposition Exchange

Role Collaboration (Network Partners)

Measurement Dependency (Value Formula)

Step 1: Organization Capabilities
Capability Library (“Capab. Map”)
Capability versus Capability Offer

Capability Offers
(or “Configurations”,
“Incarnations”)
Capability Management
Capability Method
Capability loose coupling

Decoupling via Stores
Capability drill-down from BM
Complementary aspect diagrams

Search & navigate to build total picture
Step 2: Lines of Business Networks
Business Network: 3 Views
Drill-down from BM
Step 3: Capability Application

Activity design

“service consumer”
“type of work”

Capability

provide

“provided service”

Capability

Scenario / Context Tree
Scenario-based analysis

Business Item
Inputs and Outputs
Step 4: Value Analysis
Value Proposition as Objective
For Customers
May also be for Management
Value Components
Value Proposition as Objective
Valuation
Appreciation
Weight
From recipient’s perspective
Trace back source of Value

“Value Add”,
conveyed by Output
Trace back source of Value

Value traced back further
( “Aggregated From”)
Value Aggregation

VDML versus Archimate
VDML

Archimate 2.0

Business oriented, aligned with IT

IT oriented, aligned with Business

Rich semantics

Shallow semantics

Focus on understanding of system
operation *)

Focus on navigation and search only

Context-sensitive

Context-unaware

Impact, Causality, Consistency,
Accountability
Basis for calculation, simulation,
transformation
Objects are analyzed in context

Objects are abstracted from context

*) Archimate addresses “Process”. Is Archimate sufficient as BPM spec?
Similarly Archimate is not sufficient as VDM spec
For comparision and relation between VDML and BPMN, see
