Valatas: the structure of value

Translate the value you plan into the value you build.

The boardroom and the construction site speak different languages. Valatas translates and maps the entire value lifecycle, from business strategy and project initiation to design and construction, commissioning and handover.

Talk about improving capital value Discover the Value Lane

The problem

The business invests in an outcome. The project delivers scope. Who manages the value?

The value approved at the investment decision is rarely the value handed over.

Before the decision

Value is set on estimates made too early

The business commits to an outcome on estimates made in discovery and options, before the scope is understood. The case promises more than the project can deliver.

During delivery

Value is traded away in delivery decisions

The project manages scope, cost and schedule. When those decisions aren't expressed in value terms and tested against a baseline, value can erode with no visibility.

The root cause

The boardroom and the project speak different languages, with limited translation between them.

More methodology, standards, software, data and people won't resolve that without a structure to carry information faithfully between them.

Topic	The boardroom	The project	Valatas translates
Horizon	Decades, whole of life	Stages, months to years	Whole-of-life returns into stage-by-stage decision criteria
KPIs	Returns, benefits, lifecycle cost	Scope, schedule, cost, contingency	Benefits into scope, budget and schedule targets, and back again
Outcome	Demonstrated return on the asset	Delivered on time, on budget, to specification	Business requirements into one value statement for investment and delivery
Risk	Held for the life of the asset	Held until handover	Appetite into strategic and tactical risk thresholds and baselines

How it works

We build the rails that value information runs on.

Valatas builds from the ground up, the way your projects do. The foundation goes in first. Everything else is built on it.

Top structure

Optimise the information and technology

With the foundation in place, we tune the information and technology layers so your methods and practice run efficiently and deliver the outcomes they were commissioned for.

ValaPlan · ValaMark · ValaCast · ValaRisk
Supporting members

Integrate with governance and decisions

The structure is built into your governance and decision-making frameworks. Lifecycles that run in different lanes and at different speeds synchronise at the critical points, so they align and steer toward the strategic outcome. This is the Value Lane.

ValaClass · ValaPrac · ValaNode
Foundation

Install the value structure

We install a value structure through classification and detailed workflow mapping, tailored to how your organisation works.

ValaBase

How we work

We turn your methods and governance into a capability that creates value.

We start with your business and the root causes of value erosion, then build a capability tailored to you. We then use AI to augment your people, lifting productivity, velocity and accuracy for a competitive edge.

Best practice, integrated

Proven project methodologies and standards, built into your investment lifecycles.

A persistent value statement

One value statement that outlives the investment case and defines success through delivery and into operation.

Faithful transmission

Value carries through intact every time accountability changes hands.

Strategic and tactical, merged

Strategic and tactical decisions brought together, tailored to the DNA of each organisation.

About

Built by project practitioners who have lived the value gap.

Valatas is built by practitioners who have spent decades working between the investment decision and the projects that deliver it. We have seen where value slips away, and we have spent our careers closing the gap.

Valatas turns that experience into a formula for repeatable results at every level of maturity, giving sponsors the confidence to arrive at the outcomes they set out to achieve.
