The TOP Value Equation fills the gap between project activities (A) and the financial results desired (V) with clear, specific and measurable desired business outcomes (O) and benefits (B).

Every element is measurable and trackable.

It sets each project up to progressively deliver the required activities (A), outcomes (O), benefits (B) and value (V) in full.
