Practices Are Local Value Systems: Domains, Policies and the End of 'Best Practices'

Practices copied from other organisations often fail to deliver, because a practice carries its form but not the value system that made it work. This paper, for managers and product and engineering leaders, defines a practice as a local value system with a declared value hypothesis, sets out when a practice is admissible under domain policies, and gives a structure for building and maintaining a practices collection.

From Cost Centre to Value Converter: Anti-Value Conversion in Technical Support

Technical support is usually managed as a cost centre, which hides the value it creates for clients and the product. This paper restates the Æilus model of support as a chain of transformers that convert anti-value into value, gives the source's two coefficients (VAM and ACM) minimal formulas, fixes whose value they measure, and proposes a measurement protocol a support organisation could adopt.
