Welcome to the Value Creation Mechanism Project
What Are You All About?
Discover your Value Creation Mechanism (VCM), the distinctive way you create value, then learn to name it, value it, and deliver it.
You know you bring something valuable to your work and your relationships. Putting it into words is the hard part.
For most of history, value was created from land, then from factories and capital. Today it is increasingly created from the human self: who you are and how you operate is part of what you deliver. Delivering yourself to the world for the benefit of others is the modern economic act.
Your Value Creation Mechanism is the repeatable way you make things better: the pattern underneath your title, your personality, and your strengths, and not reducible to any one of them. It is invisible to you for the same reason a fish cannot see water: you have always had it in abundance.
Once you can name it, you can develop it and put it to work with intention.
