Meritology Information

Meritology is a boutique consultancy that uses innovative Business Value Modeling (BVM) techniques to solve hard problems where ordinary cash flow spreadsheets fall short. We have particular expertise in modeling value and risk associated with information and information technology (IT), particularly information security, privacy, digital rights, and IP protection. We provide consulting services to help companies solve specific BVM problems and to implement value management programs. Cost: typical engagements range from $5,000 to $70,000. Because of our low overhead and agile service delivery model (i.e. partnerships with other specialty firms), we can produce high-value deliverables at a very affordable cost. We provide training services to help companies build team skills and internal capabilities. Meritology's BVM training is designed to build consultant-level skills for project managers and change leaders. Cost - training classes start at $1,000 for a half-day class for a team of 15 or less. Finally, our Founder and Principal, Russell Cameron Thomas, writes and speaks on the topic of Business Value. By combining deep technical understanding, practical experience, a unique creative flair, and the latest animation/visualization tools, Mr. Thomas is able to dramatize the dynamics of business value in a way that capture audience attention and motivate action. Mr. Thomas is the ideal speaker if you need to bring your value proposition to life at a sales conference, off-site planning meeting, shareholder's meeting, industry conference, or academic symposium.
