DATA at the CENTER
Data have the potential to make the world a better place.
Data are very powerful with the potential to enable immense harm as well as good.
For management, the role of data is to inform understanding that enables effective action.
|
Data should be used to drive all the steps of decision making: (1) Plan; (2) Organize; and (3) Implement.
Data are used one way for reporting progress and performance, and are used in a completely different way to inform operational management and decision making.
Data drives knowledge and understanding.
Data should be flowing to inform at every possible stage where decisions may be made to improve performance.

Data should be used to drive all the steps of decision making: (1) Plan; (2) Organize; and (3) Implement.
Progress is when the Post Activity status is better than the Pre Activity status.
Data should be flowing to inform at every possible stage where decisions may be made to improve performance.
Progress should be assessed not only for the organization or project but also for the impact on community (which comprises outside society and the natural environment.

Evidence that market mechanisms will solve all problems does not exist
Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' is a useful idea, but rarely applies in the modern world
where data are increasingly being employed for sophisticated decision making
|
Worse ... most products are now flowing through an economic system that is more concentrated than at any time in history, and the prices are optimized using technology (like AI with Big Data) so that the most powerful parts of the various supply chains maximize their profits. It serves these organizations well to support the myth of capitalist competition and free markets when the system is being gamed to maximize control and profits!

REPORTING ENTITIES
REPORTING FOR ORGANIZATIONS, PEOPLE, PLACES, PROCESSES, PRODUCTS, STREAMS
Also PROJECTS, PROGRAMS and POLICIES
In conventional accounting there are established rules for reporting for the reporting entity. For example, all corporate business organizations report financial performance including the transactions that relate to the organization but excluding transactions that are outsie the 'reporting envelope'. Rules have been established to handle complex corporate structures involving subsidiaries that are both wholly owned, and those with outside stockholders. In TVIA these ideas are expanded to enable coherent reporting not only for the business organization but for all the various entities that make up the complete socio-enviro-economic system.

UNITS OF ACCOUNT
MORE POWERFUL THAN MONETIZING IMPACT
Conventional financial accounting uses money as its unit of account, and there are established methods for the use of multiple currencies when this is needed because of the nature of the business.
With TVIA, multiple UNITS OF ACCOUNT are used in a similar way to account for the way in which different activities impact ALL the CAPITALS that make up the SOCIO-ENVIRO-ECONOMIC SYSTEM. This is more powerful and more flexible than the idea of valuing everything using money and markets

CRITICAL DATA ABOUT THE TRUE COSTS AND VALUE OF EVERY PRODUCT ON THE PLANET
Well managed companies know a lot about every product that is flowing into their organizations and being produced for sale. There is nothing like this level of knowedgle about the products that are flowing through society and having impact on people and the environment.
In companies one technique for documenting knowledge about products is the idea of Standard Costs which is powerful and relatively low cost. In the TVIA data architecture, the equivalent are STANDARD VALUE PROFILES.

METRICS
WITHOUT MEASURES, THERE IS NO MANAGEMENT / MEASURES FOR EVERYTHING ... NOT MERELY MONEY
How we talk about progress and performance ... or not? When numbers about state, progress and performance are missing, then there is no conversation that is grounded in reality and it becomes easy to promulgate 'fake news' and the appearance of good performance without much reality.
