About the Strategic Value Streams Body of Knowledge

The Strategic Value Streams Body of Knowledge is the foundational reference for designing organisations around the value that matters. Across 17 chapters, each paired with a quiz to test your understanding, it sets out the core concepts, language, and frameworks that underpin value stream thinking, giving you a shared vocabulary to align teams, leaders, and processes around outcomes rather than functions. Whether you're starting your certification journey or simply want a structured way to think about organisational design, the BoK gives you the grounding to do it with rigour.

Cameron Stewart portrait author

Cameron Stewart

Cameron has spent more than 20 years advising organisations through complex transformations, operating model redesign, and enterprise agility. His work centres on one question: how organisations change the level of value they deliver, and how to align people, governance, funding, and architecture to make that happen. He holds an MBA and is completing a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) at the University of Exeter Business School, where his research turns two decades of practice into a rigorous, evidence-based approach to value stream operating models. Strategic Value Streams is the result: a shared language and a credible standard built to help practitioners do this work well.
