What is Inclusive Value Measurement (IVM)?

Inclusive Value Measurement, proposed by Prof. Philip M’Pherson, is a rule-based mathematical model of multidimensional human-valuation (free from subjectivity) that can be keyed into a wide range of applications in business, public sector, and engineering.

With Inclusive Value Measurement, all aspects of value can be measured, combined, integrated and managed, including intangible assets and processes – in a way that is valid and reliable. 

Inclusive Value Measurement can be used to:

• Optimize Value for Money for businesses, services and projects.
• Manage Cost-Benefit Analysis and life-cycle cost-effectiveness design projects.
• Account properly for intangible value, such as: intellectual capital, reputation and information.
• Establish the monetary equivalent of value contributions from intangible assets.
• Provide a modeling environment for strategic decision-making and managing complexity.
• Conduct and visualize complex trade-offs between costs and benefits.
• Serve as a valid measuring instrument for business value.
