How do we use Marketing Value Streams?
A marketing value stream helps document an end-to-end flow delivering a business outcome to a stakeholder. Today, in an era where customer experience is a paramount consideration, a value stream diagram can help distill the flow action-oriented steps. (Customer could mean any of the stakeholders including prospects, clients, employees, suppliers, and partners.)
Whereas a process map delves into intricate detail, a value stream is at a higher level abstraction.
There are several use cases for value streams.
- A value stream can be a proxy for business and technology to be on the same page with regards to how a stakeholder value flow works and value is delivered.
- A value stream may be translated into a customer journey map with additional details about feelings and emotions in each stage.
- A value stream, when juxtaposed against capabilities, can provide visibility into the intersection of the what and the how. Similarly, processes pegged to various stages/steps of a value stream could drill down into that one click below details.
- Value streams are an integral part of the business architecture and the yang to the yin of business capabilities.

What are Value Streams?
Business Architecture Value Streams are an end-to-end flow of activities depicted from a stakeholder perspective. Value Streams are the second pillar, alongside Business Capabilities, in the business architecture realm. In essence, if Capabilities are the “What,” the Value Streams are the “How.”
How should I use Marketing Value Streams?
- Leverage the value streams to figure out how an enterprise delivers value to a stakeholder or a specific activity.
- Identify the Flow and Value of a particular stream of activities and re-engineer the process for enhancing the experience and increasing the value of the outcomes.
- Mapping Value Stream stages to Capabilities and Applications/Services help architects understand the footprint and coverage of information technology that underpins the value streams and capabilities
- Analyzing the Value Streams and then juxtaposing with Customer Journey Maps and Personas helps in optimizing the omnichannel experience.
However, our Company is Unique – will it fit us?
Of course, each company is slightly different regarding how some Value Streams work. However, while there may be divergence at the edges, there is much convergence at the core of most firms. You need to research markets, develop offerings, segment markets, price products, and leverage channels – the differences may be in the relative emphasis on the critical value streams and absence or presence of specific capabilities and competencies based on your unique needs.
Last but not the least, we do not expect our Value Stream Model (or any other model in fact) to fit you 100%. We hope you to take this as a straw model or a base and a springboard to achieve the level customization and specificity you desire.
What is my ROI?
The Value of Time Spent:
Typically, it takes a team of 5-7 to conceptualize and compose Marketing Value Streams:
- A Product Manager
- Business Architect and Process Architect
- Enterprise Architect
- Marketing Functional Experts – 2 or 3 to represent the broad spectrum of marketing areas.
Now you can multiply the average hourly cost of the team and the hours spent, and you will get the story.
