Abstract

A method, system and media for learning, analyzing, managing and/or optimizing one or more aspects of organization value, risk and return (VARR) directly and indirectly through the use of narrow systems.

Claims

1. A learning system, comprising:

a plurality of computers connected by a network each with a processor having circuitry to execute instructions;

a storage device available to each processor with sequences of instructions stored therein, which when executed cause the processors to;

integrate organization related data in accordance with a common schema, quantify the impact of elements of value, external factors and risks on organization share price by segment of value by learning from said data, and use said quantifications to identify a price for trading said shares.

2. The system of claim 1 where further system processing identifies the inter-relationship between elements of value, external factors and risks for each segment of value by learning from the data.

3. The system of claim 2 where further system processing combines the common schema with the quantified inter-relationships to develop an organization ontology.

4. The system of claim 1 where an organization is a single product, a group of products, a division, a company, a multi-company corporation, a value chain or a collaboration.

5. The system of claim 1 where the organization related data is obtained from the group consisting of advanced financial systems, asset management systems, basic financial systems, alliance management systems, brand management systems, customer relationship management systems, channel management systems, estimating systems, intellectual property management systems, process management systems, supply chain management systems, vendor management systems, operation management systems, enterprise resource planning systems (ERP), material requirement planning systems (MRP), quality control systems, sales management systems, human resource systems, accounts receivable systems, accounts payable systems, capital asset systems, inventory systems, invoicing systems, payroll systems, purchasing systems, web site systems, financial service provider systems, IT asset management systems, business intelligence systems, call management systems, channel management systems, content management systems, demand chain systems, email management systems, employee relationship management systems, energy risk management systems, fraud management systems, incentive management systems, innovation management systems, investor relationship management systems, knowledge management systems, location management systems, maintenance management systems, partner relationship management systems, performance management systems (for IT assets), price optimization systems, private exchanges, product life-cycle management systems, project portfolio management systems, risk simulation systems, sales force automation systems, scorecard systems, service management systems, six-sigma quality management systems, support chain systems, technology chain systems, unstructured data management systems, weather risk management systems, workforce management systems, yield management systems and combinations thereof.

6. The system of claim 1 where the common schema further comprises an xml schema.

7. The system of claim 1 where elements of value are selected from the group consisting of:

alliances, brands, channels, content, customers, customer relationships, employees, employee relationships, information technology, intellectual property, knowledge, partnerships, processes, technology, vendors and vendor relationships.

8. The system of claim 1 where the total value of the segments of value equals market value and the segments of value are from the group consisting of current operation, derivatives, investments, real options, market sentiment and combinations thereof.

9. The system of claim 1 where the sum of the risks equals total risk associated with the organization share price and the risks are selected from the group consisting of event risks, external factor variability risks, element variability risks, strategic risks, contingent liabilities, market volatility and combinations thereof.

10. The system of claim 1 where external factors are selected from the group consisting of numerical indicators of conditions external to the organization, numerical indicators of prices external to the organization, numerical indicators of organization conditions compared to external expectations of organization conditions, numerical indicators of the organization performance compared to external expectations of organization performance and combinations thereof.

11. The system of claim 3 where the ontology is an rdf ontology.

12. An organization method, comprising:

integrating organization related data in accordance with a common schema,

developing a market value matrix by learning from organization data, information and knowledge, and

simulating organization financial performance using said matrix to identify changes that will optimize one or more aspects of organization risk, return and value.

13. The method of claim 12 where an organization is a single product, a group of products, a division, a company, a multi-company corporation, a value chain or a collaboration.

14. The method of claim 12 where the aspects of organization risk, return and value are selected from the group consisting of alliance risk, brand risk, channel risk, content risk, contingent liabilities, customer risk, customer relationship risk, current operation risk, derivative risk, employee risk, employee relationship risk, energy risk, enterprise risk, external factor risk, event risk, fraud risk, information technology risk, intellectual property risk, investment risk, knowledge risk, market sentiment risk, market risk, market volatility, organization risk, partnership risk, process risk, production equipment risk, product risk, real option risk, technology risk, vendor risk, vendor relationship risk, weather risk, alliance return, brand return, channel return, content return, contingent liabilities, customer return, customer relationship return, current operation return, derivative return, employee return, employee relationship return, enterprise return, external factor return, event return, information technology return, intellectual property return, investment return, knowledge return, market sentiment return, market return, market volatility, organization return, partnership return, process return, production equipment return, product return, real option return, technology return, vendor return, vendor relationship return, alliance value, brand value, channel value, content value, contingent liabilities, customer value, customer relationship value, current operation value, derivative value, employee value, employee relationship value, enterprise value, external factor value, event value, information technology value, intellectual property value, investment value, knowledge value, market sentiment value, market value, market volatility, organization value, partnership value, process value, production equipment value, product value, real option value, technology value, vendor value, vendor relationship value and combinations thereof.

15. The method of claim 12 that further comprises implementing the one or more changes in an automated fashion where implementation includes activities from the group consisting of narrow system changes, risk transfer, price changes, investment sales, derivative purchases, stock sales, changes in operation and combinations thereof.

16. A computer readable medium having sequences of instructions stored therein, which when executed cause the processors in a plurality of computers that have been connected via a network to perform an organization management method, comprising:

integrating organization narrow system data and information via one or more operating system layers.

17. The computer readable medium of claim 16 where the method further comprises quantifying the value of each cell in market value matrix for the organization using said data and information.

18. The computer readable medium of claim 17 where the method further comprises providing the market value matrix to users and narrow systems via the operating system layer.

19. The computer readable medium of claim 18 where the method further comprises using the market value matrix to analyze, manage or optimize the organization financial impact of aspects of financial performance selected from the group consisting of elements of value, external factors, risks, segments of value, projects, enterprise, share price and combinations thereof.

20. The computer readable medium of claim 16 where the data and information are integrated using xmal and a common schema.
