The org chart shows reporting lines. The value network reveals the real flows of trust, knowledge, and collaboration that determine whether your organization delivers — or slowly breaks down.
Organizations that have trusted us
Value Network Analysis (VNA), developed by Verna Allee, maps your organization as a living ecosystem of exchanges. The formal deliverables — contracts, code, revenue — are only half the picture.
The other half is what your org chart never captures: the trust that makes people share knowledge, the informal favors that unblock projects, the rhythmic synchronization that turns a group into a team.
We have applied this methodology across multiple engagements with IKEA, Porsche, and global leaders — unlocking value flows that no conventional analysis had detected.
"Physical strength collapses without trust and rhythmic synchronization. So does every organization."
Contracts, software, money, deliverables. Visible in your management systems. Necessary, but not sufficient.
Trust, knowledge, favors, reputation. No ERP records them — but they determine whether the tangibles actually flow.
→ The difference between an organization that delivers and one that stalls is almost never in the formal processes. It is in the unmapped intangibles.
A Castellers tower is the most transparent value network that exists. Every role, every transaction, every intangible — visible in real time. Three lessons every C-suite needs to see.
A Castellers human tower is a live VNA map. Every role, every transaction, every intangible — visible in real time, with immediate consequences. Hover over each node to see its value flows.
Physical strength (tangible) collapses instantly without trust and rhythmic sync (intangible). In any org: formal processes fail without the informal trust network underneath. VNA makes that network visible before it breaks.
A crossa giving way 2mm generates a full network collapse. One broken intangible — unreciprocated trust, a lost knowledge transfer — can bring down the whole system. VNA shows which links are at risk before the crisis.
In folre+manilles castles, the Cap de Colla can't see the core. Authority distributes to organic leaders embedded in each layer. As your organization grows, centralized control breaks. VNA shows who the real decision nodes are.
Complex organizations can't be mapped all at once. We zoom in and out — from ecosystem to team — revealing how value flows across every level. Each map can stand alone or integrate into the full picture.
Ideal for M&A, market entry, or business model redesign — when you need the full ecosystem view before committing.
M&A · Market entry · RestructuringWhere silos destroy value. VNA shows exactly which interdepartmental links are broken — and which informal bridges are holding everything together.
Process optimization · Product launchExposes hidden knowledge hubs — the people the org actually depends on — before they leave or burn out. Essential for succession planning and onboarding.
Talent · Burnout prevention · OnboardingVNA doesn't fix the fire. It shows you the code of your organizational culture — so you can reprogram it from the root.
We don't audit. We map, diagnose and co-design with your teams — so the knowledge stays inside your organization.
We shift from job titles to active roles in the value flow — exposing the real communication structure, independent of the org chart.
We identify MUST deliverables (contractual: code, money, reports) and EXTRA deliverables (intangibles: trust, favors, knowledge) that build durable relationships.
We visualize where the network stalls — operationally or emotionally — detecting weak links and value flows that are not being reciprocated.
Through high-impact insights, we resequence the network to create multiple optimized pathways — building agility and resilience into the ecosystem.
Before deploying AI agents, your organization must have total clarity on its value transactions. Our VNA expertise makes us the right partner for this step — because the map precedes the automation.
We identify exactly which operational nodes are ready for AI Agents, preserving human capital for the critical intangible exchanges: strategy, trust, and empathy.
We built SOS — our own Swarm Operating System — to demonstrate live what an AI agent ecosystem operating on a real VNA map looks like.
A live tool where AI agents map value networks, generate Work Orders, calculate equity economics and learn from the knowledge accumulated across projects.
Built on VNA methodology. Every node is an active role. Every line is a transaction the system understands, measures, and can automate.
Open access — explore the tool and see how VNA becomes operational architecture.
