In any large, collaborative research or innovation initiative, value is a common word, but often a vague one.
Whether you're designing a new proposal or already mid-project, there's always the same challenge:
How will what we're doing actually land — and last?
With Strategic Value Framing (SVF) and The Value Navigator (TVN), Pro Vides Consulting helps answer this early and clearly. We provide the structure to align, track, and evolve what matters most, so that your results have meaning now and continue to make sense after your initiative formally ends.
SVF and TVN slot into your existing working structure with minimal friction. We give you a living, shared “single source of value truth,” so your consortium can focus on breakthrough research and innovation with real-world cases — not on chasing documents or recreating context.
We onboard your partners and configure your first navigators around key use cases, objectives, or policy goals. This can take days; it doesn't have to take months.
Workshops translate research insights, technology specs, and stakeholder inputs into value stories. The result is clear linking from partner to capability gap, driver, and value — all stored in and accessible via TVN platform.
As your work evolves, update the drivers, evidence, and decisions directly in the platform. No lost knowledge, no version-hunting, and your most current insight is always one click away.
External stakeholders get controlled access to tailored views, accelerating uptake, policy alignment, and partner engagement. Navigators become living assets for scaling impact.
Keep navigators active after the formal ending of the collaboration, or fork them for follow-on initiatives. Your investment in structured knowledge stays alive and relevant while the science — and the market — move forward.
Navigators are not tied to a single use case or domain. They can be repurposed or extended to explore adjacent innovation areas,
compare solution paths, or connect diverse actors — from policymakers and researchers to capability providers and technology owners.
This creates a shared strategic view where decisions can be aligned across disciplines, enabling multi-actor readiness, systemic insight, and faster execution.
Bottom line? SVF and TVN offloads the heavy knowledge-management tasks, reduces reporting time, and turns scattered insights into a coherent, value-centred narrative that evaluators and industry alike can trust.
Spend your energy on discovery and innovation — we'll make sure the value you create is captured, connected, and ready to scale.
Every engagement is tailored, but here's what you can typically expect when we support your project:
Setup is fast and lightweight
TVN access and configuration can begin immediately after sign-up.
More advanced options — such as private hosting, offline access, or white-labeling — are also available with additional lead time.
Custom user frontends available
We can co-develop custom interfaces for branded or embedded use. These require joint design and development and are quoted as part of a separate technical track.
Post-project continuity
We offer options to maintain or host navigators beyond the project lifetime, helping your outcomes scale and stay accessible in future ecosystems.
The SVF approach and TVN are grounded in a robust synthesis of classic theory and modern, adaptive decision science. The tool works like a digital twin of the expert in the value ecosystem.
We draw on enduring foundations in strategy, social science, systems thinking, and structured decision-making — including frameworks such as the resource-based view (VRIN/VRIO), co-design methodologies, and participatory innovation approaches. This is combined with newer tools for adaptive capability modeling, ecosystem design, and value-centered facilitation.
SVF and TVN bring together methodologically diverse yet complementary concepts:
Our foundations are both deep and diverse. We integrate insights from decision science, social innovation, public policy, systems engineering, and business design. This includes classic texts and contemporary research, such as:
This diverse foundation allows SVF and TVN to serve both academic and applied communities. It enables rigorous traceability of value logic while remaining flexible and responsive to real-world complexity.
As emerging science, policy, and systems practices evolve, so too will the tools and models embedded in SVF and TVN. This is a living approach — designed to support today's challenges, as well as to continuously improve in response to what we learn, observe, and co-create with our partners in our ever-changing, increasingly complex and uncertain world.
We work with teams in early-stage ideation, midstream complexity, and scale-up strategy. Wherever you are, we help you bring value into focus.
⚡ If you're already preparing a proposal or running a funded project, we can help you plug in quickly without disrupting your existing methods.
