The Value Innovation Network & Value Innovation Action Tank

Kim and Renée co-founded the Value Innovation Network (VIN), a global community of practice on the Value Innovation family of concepts that they created. VIN embraces academics, consultants, executives, and government officers. Renée is also a board member of the Value Innovation Action Tank (VIAT), a non-profit organization, which has 15 Singapore government ministeries and agencies as founding partners.  VIAT was established in March 2004 to bring Value Innovation to the country's private, public and people sectors. The Times said, "the ultimate centre of excellence is one which does not cost the business school any money, but which positions its faculty as leaders in its field, creator of practical ideas, and direct influencer of governments. In this, Singapore's Value Innovation Action Tank (VIAT) is probably the benchmark. VIAT aims to convert Kim and Renée's ideas into reality by using a variety of frameworks, processes, tools and educational programmes."
