The SCOS ^* method: a proprietary tool for value-modelling, -designing and -monitoring
complex projects and systems.

Highly versatile and adaptable,

• it applies to a wide range of problems, projects and systems of all sizes and its focus can be adjusted;
• it takes into account value fields of various natures:
  • economic and financial,
  • material or immaterial : social, environmental, …
  • discrete or continuous.

Flexible,

• it can deal with estimates;
• it puts up with uncertainties and pins down feasability conditions;
• it highlights pathways to be explored / examined further / dropped;
• thus it serves as:
  • a driver for innovation,
  • and a valuable decision-helping tool under uncertain conditions.

Collaborative and conveyable,

• it is « portable » as it helps to federate various fields of expertise and/or to focus on some specific areas;
• it allows you to learn as you go through short feedback loops.

Iterative,

• it can be transposed at various organisation levels depending on the project’s course;
• or put on hold then resumed depending on results achieved and decisons made.

Rigourous and stringent,

• it requires to focus on value and functions, rather than costs and means.

Fluid,

• it is easy to implement and delivers its first results over a short period of time, then it can be adjusted by trials and errors.

It works as a genuinely integrated information and knowledge management tool.
