About our Best Value Approach


The Best Value Approach (BVA) was developed by Dr. Dean Kashiwagi in 1992. It has been tested over 2,000 times delivering $6.6B of services in 10 different countries. In 2019, 27 years later, the first 3 states, who utilized the BVA, Hawaii, Utah and Oklahoma, are utilizing a “Cadillac” version that is semi-automated and saves 30% of the project costs. BVA is the most licensed intellectual property (IP) developed at Arizona State University, voted the Most Innovative University in the country for four years in a row. 2019 is special because BVA is being utilized by one of the largest professional consulting companies in the world for the first time. The 2019 version of the BVA is a New Project Management and Risk Management model that automates both responsibilities. It is a game-changer in the optimization of services in the age of information systems and robotics. Every organization who buys services should be exposed to the visionary BVA experts at the Best Value Conference.
