This article argues for the use of the Project Implementation Profile (PIP) tool in managing non-governmental organization (NgO) projects. It applies the PIP to a project in the non-profit NgO sector and assesses the extent to which it provides project success assurance. The findings suggest that PIP can be used in this sector. Further work to refine the tool and integrate it with the Logical Framework is suggested.
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a holistic and comprehensive historical perspective of the evolution of value management, and to illustrate the impact that value analysis can have on innovation within organizations. Design/methodology/approach – A review of published material from credible sources describing the evolution of the value management methodology, and a desktop analysis of 35 documented value management case studies illustrating the role of value management in innovation. Findings – Published descriptions of the evolution of value management are incomplete and fragmented. A holistic and comprehensive historical perspective of value management as a value-adding methodology is provided. Mapped against a model for innovation, value management is shown to contribute substantially to innovation within organizations across a variety of contexts. Value management is currently evolving into a powerful approach to strategic planning. Practical implications – This paper illustrates the contribution of value management to innovation across a variety of industries and contexts. Originality/value – The paper provides a holistic and comprehensive historical perspective of the evolution of value management as a methodology, and demonstrates by mapping selected case studies onto a model of innovation impact, that the method is a powerful and versatile approach to obtaining innovative solutions to organizational problems.
