ValueSims are Valculus' proprietary practical implementation of the resource-based valuation (RbV) method.

The flexibility of a ValueSim enables companies to justify and communicate their strategic plans and business models to their stakeholders in a manner not possible before.

A ValueSim has all the features of conventional valuation models, but adds a solid resource and financial audit trail that will withstand stress testing and interrogation from all manner of stakeholders.

Engages all management groups as well as other stakeholders in the process of strategy development.

• customisable for specific client circumstances
• can be used as 'standalone' application, or accessed via a web browser
• can be connected to external data sources for input (eg Excel or a database)
• can output data for analysis in other analysis and presentation tools
• total control of internal and external access security privileges to different stakeholder groups
• can initially be assembled from 'applets' - pre-existing structures - customised and tested in isolation
• can be developed progressively, linking resource streams together to develop feedback relationships
• includes a fully-validated set of integrated financial plans (P/L, balance sheet, cash flow)
• include standard valuation analysis tools based on NPV and economic value
• full integration of balanced scorecards
• A wide range of other management reports and control panels

A resource-based strategy simulation engine sits at the heart of every ValueSim. The diagram below is a generalised example of a ‘joined-up’ resource-based ValueSim, showing how different resource streams are connected together as a coherent whole.
