Contribution and positioning
What human or societal value sits beneath the offer, and how can we explain it credibly to customers or partners?
BPI expert evaluation
Understand the good your business creates.
Discover how your core business contributes to people and society, where it could create greater positive impact, and how that contribution could strengthen your business.
A useful evaluation starts with your business question.
You may already have a clear purpose and useful products. The evaluation helps you examine what follows from them in practice.
Growth and development
Where could existing capabilities meet needs better, and what would make an opportunity commercially viable?
Priorities and continuity
Which strengths should we protect, which supporting practices matter most, and what can wait?
What you receive
A reasoned report
A management summary, your contribution mechanism and its evidence basis, including the limits of what can be concluded.
An eight-component profile
An overall 0–100 score and eight sub-scores, accompanied by analysis explaining the pattern rather than leaving you with an unexplained number.
Priorities you can act on
Company-specific recommendations, relevant business-value connections and questions to clarify before committing resources.
The standard evaluation includes a discussion of the findings. Additional workshops, new stakeholder research, communication materials and implementation support are agreed separately.
The analytical value, made concrete
Fictional example: a workplace-learning provider. This is not a client case, score or measured result.
-
The business question
Should we expand our course catalog, or strengthen the value of the courses we already offer?
-
Assumed inputs
The provider has completion records and immediate satisfaction feedback, but no systematic information about later application.
-
The analytical distinction
Attendance and satisfaction do not establish usable learning or employer benefit. The important contribution is the capability people can actually use.
-
The peace perspective
Useful learning may strengthen agency, dignity, confidence and participation at work. Access and barriers to applying learning are therefore part of the analysis.
-
The business connection to examine
If buyers see useful application, that may support renewal or recommendation. Neither that behavior nor its financial effect has been demonstrated in this illustration.
-
The development priority
Examine application in one existing course before broad expansion: what people use, what prevents use, and what the buyer values. Use the findings to decide whether to improve content, support application, change the audience or refine the value proposition.
Suggested follow-up research is a possible client action or an additional agreed assignment. It is not automatically included in every evaluation. No numeric score is fabricated for this illustration.
Eight components. One connected interpretation.
The profile considers how your purpose, products, relationships and leadership work together. It can reveal strengths to protect, constraints on contribution, and development choices whose value would be missed by looking at one number alone.
1. Purpose
What positive contribution guides the company, and how does it influence real decisions?
2. Long-term mindset
How do decisions and investments sustain value and well-being over time?
3. Product and service social value
Which human needs do your products and services serve, for whom, and in what way?
4. Ethics, morality and integrity
How do moral judgment and integrity guide conduct when decisions involve difficult choices?
5. Stakeholder inclusion
Whose needs, interests and experiences inform decisions, including people beyond the immediate customer?
6. Societal and market reach
How broadly does the contribution reach people and markets, including underserved groups where relevant?
7. New paradigm
How do higher purpose, interdependence and the company’s worldview shape its way of organizing business?
8. Leadership
How do leaders foster moral excellence, reinforce purpose and enable positive change?
A low score is not automatically the next priority. A high score does not mean perfection. Recommendations follow the interpretation of the business, not a requirement to maximize every component.
How the work proceeds
Agree the scope
We agree the business questions, participants, available materials, outputs, timetable and fee before paid work begins.
Provide the inputs
Typically one to three interviews and existing strategy, service or responsibility material. The interview scope depends on size and complexity.
Analyze and discuss
Tilman prepares the evaluation. You check factual accuracy, and we discuss the findings and priorities. Broader validation or implementation can be scoped separately.
The standard evaluation
Standard BPI expert evaluation: €5,000 + applicable VAT
The standard evaluation includes the analysis, BPI profile, development priorities and a discussion of the findings. We agree the questions, interview scope, inputs, deliverables and timetable before work begins. Broader assignments and additional communication or implementation work are quoted separately.
Practical questions
How is this different from writing our own impact story?
The value is the analysis behind the story: the contribution, its evidence, the conditions that support it, the connections between components and the priorities that follow. A persuasive narrative alone is not an evaluation.
Are the scores objective ratings?
No. They summarize qualitative expert judgment using the Business Peace Index framework and the available inputs. They are not public rankings, certification, audit results or independent proof of downstream impact.
Will this increase revenue or enterprise value?
The evaluation examines relevant mechanisms and development opportunities. Actual outcomes depend on the business model, customer response, implementation and other conditions. No revenue, profitability or enterprise-value increase is guaranteed.
Can we use the findings publicly?
Reports and scores are primarily internal decision support. Public use and any external-use deliverables are agreed separately, with suitable wording, evidence and permissions.
How much of our time is required?
You provide the agreed interviews and relevant existing material, and review factual accuracy. The exact commitment and timetable are agreed before the engagement; there is no universal duration for every organization.
Can an investor, consultant or association commission work?
Yes, we can discuss an evaluation for a company or another appropriate scope. The standard company evaluation is not automatically a portfolio rating, due diligence engagement or sector-wide impact study.
What would a useful evaluation need to clarify?
Bring one decision, opportunity or question about your company. We will discuss whether this approach fits and what the evaluation would need to deliver.
