Article: A framework of intangible valuation areas (FIVA): Aligning business strategy and intangible assets with Julie J. C. H. Ryan

The combination of the value drivers of intangibles (alternatives) and the KM objectives (criteria) are modeled as depicted in Figure 3.

The FIVA model provides significant insight into the value components that contribute towards the achievement of a specific KM objective. The design of the FIVA model supports a dynamic mix of value components based on the business environment. FIVA is an initial step toward the development of a network and dynamic model to value and report intangible assets. FIVA leverages existing works to move the discipline of intangibles forward.

Conclusion

The FIVA represents a dynamic relationship between strategic objectives of KM and value drivers of intangible assets. FIVA provides a view of intangible assets within the context of the business enterprise and supports their valuation based on a common set of business dimensions. FIVA provides a concept of something familiar and similar to represent the complex business enterprise. It provides a systematic way to divide a business enterprise into its discrete activities. FIVA is a concept that could be used to examine the groupings of business activities and to establish boundaries that alignment with drivers of value, both tangible and intangible. FIVA incorporates intangible assets in the value chain of a business enterprise, which provides a first step to aligning intangible assets to value creation with its business strategy.

Today’s businesses are unaware if they have people, resources, or business processes in place to execute and succeed in their KM strategy. FIVA is a concept that allows a business to identify and link performance measurements/indicators to its intangible value drivers and subsequently capture measures to monitor and evaluate leading and lagging indicators in the achievement of its KM strategy. Understanding the value of its intangibles helps a business to develop, sustain and enhance its mission effectiveness and/or competitive advantage. FIVA provides a methodology to have command of and access to effective utilization of business resources and knowledge, which supports the business’s capability to implement cost and differentiation advantages.
