Methodology PapersIn functional hierarchies every unit owns a process, but no one owns the value flow that crosses units and is realized at the receiving actor. This paper, written for managers, product and engineering leaders and operations, presents the Æilus v2.0 role and process model as a way to make value ownership explicit without adding command layers. It sets out the six roles, the mandatory process groups and events, an artifact allocation per role, an adoption path, and the risks of role inflation, bureaucracy and value theatre with their safeguards.

Theoretical ResearchOrganisations usually measure AI as a digital employee: tasks completed and headcount avoided. This paper shows, from Value Management Theory, why that frame measures AI where it looks strongest and hides rework and anti-value on the receiver side. It gives managers and AI programme leads a way to place AI as a transformer role in a value system, name it, draw it in a Value System Schema and measure it where its output is consumed.

Theoretical ResearchMany organisations report green indicators while their long-term capacity to deliver value erodes. This paper, written for leaders and strategy, product and operations managers, explains through the Theory of Value Management why decisions that are rational within KPI frames destroy value, and how the resulting anti-value stays hidden. It offers a four-step value-based decision model and illustrates it with hypothetical scenarios.
