Many vectors can be leveraged to expand Value
Space. The acronym FRIENDS does not imply any
particular order, and not all vectors contribute
to the same extent.
System – Value can be increased by expanding the
boundaries and scope of the system, and shift
the locus of its center-of-gravity.
Foresight allows us to understand and leverage
emerging opportunities.
Reframe to shift the conceptual and strategic
assumptions on which current designs are based.
Insights new discoveries into the nature of
systems and the various entities enable novel
approaches to creating value.
e-Everything The power of technologies and in
particular digital technologies creates powerful
new paradigms and resources to leverage in
creating new options.
Need Spaces Among the many shifts that one can
capitalize on, the most important is the shift
in needs of the various stakeholders.
Density – the notion of density expresses the
possibilities of bringing more things together –
eliminating fragmentation and increasing
functionality
