What Is the Business Value Accelerator Program (BVAP)?
BVAP is a structured, 4-week planning process that empowers cross-functional teams to identify and implement rapid, product-oriented improvements in delivery and operations. Our goal is to maximize customer value with the time and resources you already have.
After the initial planning sprint, your improvement plan is refined each quarter—building on prior gains without pausing day-to-day operations.
By applying proven Lean-Agile methodologies, BVAP transforms lengthy programs into focused, high-impact initiatives with rapid iterations and incremental, value-based deliveries—ensuring both quick wins and sustainable growth.
Key Characteristics:
This VSIT-driven model ensures that improvements compound quarter after quarter—delivering uninterrupted progress and lasting business momentum.
For teams seeking expert-led facilitation, Command Results provides end-to-end BVAP implementation support, including guided workshops, hands-on assignments, and ongoing Office Hours, to keep your improvement plan on track and continuously evolving.
Who Is Business Value Accelerator Program (BVAP) For?
BVAP is uniquely suited for organizations ready to overcome bottlenecks in product delivery and operational efficiency. No matter your role, BVAP equips you with the methods and tools to deliver real value to your customers. For example:
Every organization has more improvement ideas than it has time, resources, or budget to take on. BVAP teaches you how to ruthlessly prioritize the highest impact initiatives—so you deliver maximum business and customer value at the lowest practical cost.

Testimonials & Case Studies (Optional)
After applying BVAP techniques, we uncovered a deliverable that added no real value for our customers—eliminating that non-value-added waste saved us $1.7 million in project costs in just one week.” – Mohamad Annan, President-Elect, PMI Central California Valley Chapter
“Great reference material every businessperson should know” – Mark
“As a Project Manager I have always tried to bring a hybrid approach to fit each project, company and team. “The Lean-Agile Way” embraces the advantages to this philosophy of finding best practices from a wide range of sources from automotive manufacturing to software development. – Greg Acuna
“The Lean-Agile Way” is an in depth guide that brilliantly bridges the gap between Lean principles and Agile methodologies. For leaders and practitioners alike, this book offers practical insights into optimizing processes, improving team collaboration, and delivering faster, more effective results.” – Michael Shost
Conclusion
BVAP isn’t just another training program, it’s a rapid, results-focused process that equips your team to overcome operational challenges, reduce costs, and deliver sustainable business value. I look forward to the opportunity to help your organization achieve transformational improvement.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
