According to the EPI Data Centre Professional (CDCP) Reference Materials, a core objective of a Business Value in an organization is to create value for customers and stakeholders1. This means delivering products or services that meet or exceed customer expectations, while also generating profits or benefits for the organization and its shareholders. Reducing costs, reducing the deficit, and increasing sales are possible ways to achieve this objective, but they are not the core objective itself.

Okay, let me see here. I know business value is about more than just the bottom line, so I don't think it's just about reducing costs or increasing sales. I'll have to really consider the core objectives here.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Reducing costs, increasing sales, or something else - I'll have to weigh the options.
