    \n

    Value Creation has three characteristics:<\/em><\/h3>\n

    1) There is a transformation from one stage to the next<\/p>\n

    2) All activities around this transformation or conversion of raw materials and information are done right the first time<\/p>\n

    3) Customers are willing to pay for these activities. All activities, work, and scheduling in a business should be performed with what the organization\u2019s customers consider to be valuable. \u00a0Best in Class Business are exceptional in finding out what their customers require their products and services to deliver.<\/p>\n

      Both roles are responsible for the execution, alignment, and realization of corporate mandates.\u00a0Whether or not the CPO role can be replaced by the CVO role depends on various factors and conditions, such as:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Corporate Situation<\/li>\n
      2. Corporate Culture. If Sales and Marketing dominated, then CVO may prevail. If Operations driven, CPO may remain intact.<\/li>\n
      3. If CPO has strong understanding and command of value creating processes and can influence cross functional collaboration there maybe no need to replace the role.<\/li>\n
      4. The hallmark of the domain of the CPO role is\u00a0Spend Management<\/strong>\u00a0and requires a profound skill set. If such a role is replaced by a CVO special care must be taken to assure that the Spend Management discipline is not compromised.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
