I will need some time to digest what you sent but let me look and revert if I can see some areas of synergy 

Martin 

Thank you for your ping-back, Martin

 

I’d like to divide this answer into three parts. Some words about (1) Project Nemo; (2) basics about the ‘Business Engineering Systems’; (3) Next on my agenda.

 

1_Project NEMO

The root of ‘Project NEMO’ is in the mid of the 80s, when China came and wanted to have local content to make themselves and not only buy our products. Our directors undersigned a contract for technology transfer, and I had to realize it. We were among the first who had such a contract with China – and nobody had any idea, how to structure such a complex project. There was no paper or anything that could help us to make that contract.
So we had to think ourselves and ‘develop’ a transparent and mostly self-explaining system for simultaneously running the enterprise as usual and additionally transfer knowledge and skills (intangibles) from all operational departments in addition to physical products, tools and infrastructure.

While the development of this new ‘enterprise model’ I often had consultants looking for ‘what we were doing’. They found our approach on how to structure and quantifying the intangibles interesting – maybe because they could not see it through their ‘Business Administration’ lens.
Engineers use imaginary and complex numbers for quantifying real reality – and the intangibles are somehow imaginary objects too – I used ‘Business Engineering Systems’ as description for that ‘enhanced Business Model’. Based on that model I had to propose an enhanced strategy for the whole company.

More about the development of the ‘BE-Systems’ (and other approaches) can be downloaded here: https://bengin.net/permalink/werkstueck_und_werkzeug_d.pdf

 

2_Some content of BE-Systems

I think of the ‘BE-Systems’ as a set of tools for mind (A) to see the business reality from a new point of view AND (B) help to transfer new insights and knowledge so that the now hidden intangibles can be ‘mapped’ and ‘quantified’ likewise the introduction of the ‘principle of energy’ in the science of physics.

About 95% of the systems (several thousand papers) are available in the net because of copyright reasons (even they are not all easy to find). 5% are not disclosed because of possible patents.

One entry point to the BE-System could be ‘The four main views’ https://insede.org/4schwerpunkte_e.html
In No. 1 and 2 are some core insights for structuring and quantifying real reality. No. 3 (strategy) and 4 (value creating network) then are helpful derivative of 1 & 2.

For further getting into the content of the BE-Systems I’ve attached a pdf of an Excel with some Links for downloading papers. It has five parts with several reference numbers which I’d recommend for a first look into the systems.

01.02 ‘Expanding Value Paradigm’, 2002

01.04 ’Measuring Performance in a Knowledge Economy: Linking subjective and objective Value Measurement into a “Vector-Based” concept for Performance Measurement’, 2004

01.11 ‘Doughnut Contest’, Part 1 & 2

03. About Values, Measures, Metrics
Here you may find several samples for visualizing relationships of any two metrics (be it monetary or nonmonetary) for several clusters (Vectorprofile). It’s even possible to separate ‘the Shareholders’ Profit Expectation’ from the ‘Real Enterprise Value’.

04. Three core Projects
Here you can find papers and documents in the ‘OneDrive’ and ‘GoogleDrive’. It’s recommended to open the folders in a ‘pictures view’.

05. Prototype ‘winformatics’. Weighted Information/Data. With interactive Excel.

 

3_Next on my agenda

Based on insights and statements in three of your papers (1) Optimize for Both, Social and Business Value; (2) Winning the ‘20s and (3) The Humanization of the Corporation I’ll figure out where and how elements of the BE-System could support the change to/in smart economy. (Needs some time.)

 

Hope this could help to give you some basic insights to the content of and applications for the BE-Systems. Questions?

Best regards

Peter

Dear Martin Reeves

It was with great pleasure I have read your “Optimize for Both – Social and Business Value”.

It could well be the best marketing description for my “Project NEMO” I started several years ago. http://project-nemo.org

Purpose was/is to develop and deliver an enhanced mind set (framework & hybrid value metrics) for economic reasoning that helps integrating people’s intangible assets and needs into the economic decision process.

Economics is understood as a product of mind that has (for smart economies) reached the top of its s-curve – and it’s a candidate for radical innovation.
The development of the invention was made in a professional manner – including all intellectual property rights – and is fully compatible with (upgradeable from) the classic economics. Invest > CHF 5.5 Mio.

I’m writing to you because I feel that sharing our views could accelerate the process of re-engineering economics for a more sustainable development of economy – including proprietary auditing and accounting rules/indicators.

I’d be glad to give you any information about the project, what has been reached ‘til now and what is planned.

Could you please give me a ping back, if you’d like to see/hear more?

Very best greetings from Switzerland

Yours

Peter Bretscher
