Effectiveness is ‘Doing the right thing’ and Efficiency is ‘Doing the thing right’

Michael Ported : creating value : Value chain : each step is not seen as a cost but a step that has to add some increment of value to the finished product

In a high tech environment it isn't always easy to define what is an added value to a product. Which features are a party of the value chain.

Most features and technology get used because they are there, whether or not they given an added value to the end user.

It is universal, and can even be spotted in datasheets and promotion material for the end customer. Terminolgy like Runs on Windows CE, Runs on linux, are not added value to the end user. But just a technology to achive an added value.

(TBD, need a better example ) Eg runs on linux --> Robust system, reliable

runs on windows CE --> user friendly environment.

In a hight tech environment it is very hard to draw the line between technology available and technology that provides value to the product.

This blog which is open is initiated to find guidelines, rules of thumb to identify these ellements of the value chain.
