This page provides an overview of the CUBE® Framework to help you navigate and find the knowledge that you need faster!

Shortly describes what the CUBE® framework is, and is not, as well as an overview how to navigate the CUBE® framework.

The concepts, principles and structures that is at the core of the CUBE® frameworks design and purpose.

The CUBE® framework consists of three main components: the organisation, the cornerstones and the outcome values.

The Cornerstones are essential practice that permeates all layers of the organisation and must embed everything.

The organisation is in the centre of the CUBE® framework. It represents a collection of people working together in different layers to provide some kind of outcome value to their stakeholders. 

The whole purpose of an organisation is to provide value for its stakeholders. As value is a vague word, we need to be more specific. 

All organisations are CUBEs®. The framework does not only apply to an individual organisation, it applies to the whole value network of organisations.

The Asset is a key concept in the CUBE® framework and can represent many different things. The trick is to describe things in a consistent format and writing it down.

All assets are built up by different parts that together describes a system that is the asset. This system is based on a few different types of documents that fulfils different purposes in the description of the asset.

There are dependencies between all assets and it is important that the dependency is clear and managed. The asset architecture and management systems helps achieve this.

The method to turn the theory into practice comes to life through the method and with the theory as the foundation.

Each asset needs to be designed, maintained, and decommissioned once irrelevant. This is the asset lifecycle that all assets goes through.

The practical steps how to design, maintain and decommission assets are described in the Asset Lifecycle Process.

The practical examples paints a picture how the application of the CUBE® method can play out in real life.

The Asset library contains best-practice, examples, templates, guides and references how to get started with each Asset as well as Asset Architecture.
