value drivers
All organisations have factors which drive their costs down, drive their revenue up and drive up their asset value. From its work with D4 across many organisations, Isochron has assembled a generic list of these factors covering both private and public sectors. This concept is part of the D4 technique for systematically identifying extended benefit values from investment and which is of very special value for financial recovery. For these exceptional times we are making Isochron's copyright Value Driver list available for download and review.
principles
Whilst D4 sets out charts, menus, pathways, sessions, templates and much else for its use, all of this can still not address every situation which may crop up. To help guide your judgement at such times and to act as a useful benchmark for all benefit realisation techniques, Isochron sets out 10 Principles for D4 in a single sheet, available here:
