ABSTRACT

Differences between supply chains, conventional value chains and wealth creation value chains are described and illustrated. Categories and roles of business and organization participants in wealth creation value chains are described. The four phases of implementation—exploration, proof of concept, implementation, and institutionalization—are described and concepts of gap, barriers, and underutilized resources are introduced. The key concept of intentional inclusivity is described and the significance of scale is introduced. The relationship between wealth creation value chains and systems is explored.
