ValueImpactAnalysen

ValueImpactAnalysen is a framework designed to assess the value impact of initiatives by integrating financial value with social, environmental, and strategic outcomes. It aims to support decision-making, justify investments, and improve transparency for stakeholders. The term is used in both corporate and public sector contexts to describe an approach that combines economic evaluation with broader value considerations.

The approach typically involves scoping the analysis, identifying value drivers, gathering data on economic, social, and environmental effects, and modeling outcomes. Non-financial benefits are quantified when possible or evaluated using multi-criteria scoring. The analysis uses tools such as cost-benefit analysis, risk assessment, sensitivity analysis, scenario planning, and, where appropriate, Monte Carlo simulations to account for uncertainty. It emphasizes the distribution of value among stakeholders and the alignment with strategic objectives, governance standards, and sustainability goals.

Applications span corporate strategy, product development, public policy, sustainability initiatives, and digital transformations. Strengths include providing a structured, holistic view of value and better prioritization of proposals. Limitations include challenges in monetizing non-financial value, data quality constraints, and the need for transparent assumptions. ValueImpactAnalysen can complement existing reporting and governance processes by presenting a balanced picture of value creation and distribution across time and stakeholders.
