18. Value is a central but sometimes slippery concept for any business or service. The Oxford English Dictionary defines value as “the importance, worth, or usefulness of something”. It may have a material or monetary dimension: how much could be charged for the particular output or service. But, for a public organisation in particular, it is also likely to have a wider component – the value that the organisation contributes to society, regardless of whether all of its contribution could or should have a price tag.
