By the way, say Hi to Alfonso, I met him years ago in Brussels but after that our roads didn't cross anymore. Ciao Giovanni,

unfortunately I’m not so fluent in Spanish, but I had a look at it and it seems interesting, let me know if you write an English version.

By the way, say Hi to Alfonso, I met him years ago in Brussels but after that our roads didn’t cross anymore.

If this is the case I don't see the point to pretend it to be open source. I am a firm believer that transparency pays, and I would see as appropriate a clear statement in the download page saying it all. Hi David,

for IP’d do you mean closed sourced? If this is the case I don’t see the point to pretend it to be open source.

I am a firm believer that transparency pays, and I would see as appropriate a clear statement in the download page saying it all.

The software support to engaging with value network analysis (VNA) is being IP'd, with many more features, and likely to be launched next year. However, the real value is not the software but the recognition that VNA offers a new perspective or "lens" with which to visualise more realistically how organisations work. The material for that is all open source, as to method. There is also an information object model published for consultation. A recent large scale application with some 100 personnel enabled Boeing to increase productivity by a factor of six in redesigning a new organisation - the flight test "center" for the new Dreamliner aircraft. "Composer" was not needed for that. Hope that helps. David Roberto,

If this is the case, I could hardly call it open source.

You can also see the number of downloads to date. I will check it out with the designer, however, if you are still having problems.

As supporter and sponsor of these initiatives could you please sort out if the GenIsis Value Network tool is or not Open Source? As I wrote before I tried to download it, but on SourceForge version 1.0 is not available at the present stage. David,
