Methods and systems for valuing a business decision
First Claim
1. A processor program product disposed on a processor-readable medium, the processor program product having processor instructions for causing at least one processor to:
- determine a first direct cost associated with at least a partial implementation of a business decision, the first direct cost including at least one of productivity gains and losses, determine a second direct cost based on a non-implementation of the business decision, the second direct cost based on the at least one of productivity gains and losses, determine a first risk reduction associated with at least a partial implementation of the business decision, the first risk reduction based on at least one business relationship risk, determine a second risk reduction associated with a non-implementation of the business decision, the second risk reduction based on the at least one business relationship risk, and, associate the business decision with a value, the value corresponding to a sum between;
(i) a difference between the first direct cost and the second direct cost, and, (ii) a difference between the first risk reduction and the second risk reduction.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and processor instructions to determine a first direct cost associated with at least a partial implementation of a business decision, the first direct cost including at least one of productivity gains and losses, determine a second direct cost based on a non-implementation of the business decision, the second direct cost based on the productivity gains and losses, determine a first risk reduction associated with at least a partial implementation of the business decision, the first risk reduction based on a business relationship risk(s), determine a second risk reduction associated with a non-implementation of the business decision, the second risk reduction based on the business relationship risk(s), and, associate the business decision with a value, the value corresponding to a sum between differences of: (i) the first direct cost and the second direct cost, and, (ii) the first risk reduction and the second risk reduction.

25. A method, comprising:
-
determining a first direct cost associated with at least a partial implementation of a business decision, the first direct cost including at least one of productivity gains and losses, determining a second direct cost based on a non-implementation of the business decision, the second direct cost based on the at least one of productivity gains and losses, determining a first risk reduction associated with at least a partial implementation of the business decision, the first risk reduction based on at least one business relationship risk, determining a second risk reduction associated with a non-implementation of the business decision, the second risk reduction based on the at least one business relationship risk, and, associating the business decision with a value, the value corresponding to a sum between;
(i) a difference between the first direct cost and the second direct cost, and, (ii) a difference between the first risk reduction and the second risk reduction. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
