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.

Theoretical ResearchArtificial intelligence weakens the link between labour and value on which taxation, welfare and GDP were built. This paper asks whether a state can instead be governed by sensing and rebalancing value flows across society. It sets out a value-flow theory of the state, a governing mechanism with explicit limits, the failure modes of that mechanism and a method for testing it, packaged from the Axiacracy research programme. It is a theory and a design under test: no simulation results are reported.

Theoretical ResearchA system-level way for leaders, HR and strategy researchers to reason about employee-related value. The work models employees as participants in interacting value systems, shows how value flows turn into anti-value, and explains why the same employee practices produce different results in different organizations.
