Books
The framework, in full. Free to read.
Six core books, from a short overview to a lifecycle framework for every asset type and a competency framework for all fourteen competencies. Every book is free to read with a free account.

Two books cover the whole framework.
Read the Executive Overview for the idea and the numbers. Read the Management Guideline to run it.
Executive Overview
What VGF is, why it matters and how to start, for executives, boards and senior IT leaders.
Management Guideline
The authoritative reference: concepts, architecture, every asset type and competency, and the operating model.
The core series
One book for every asset type, one for every competency.
Two books follow the framework itself: one with a section for each of the fourteen asset types (pillar 1) and one with a section for each of the fourteen competencies (pillar 3). Two guides put them to work.
Asset Lifecycle Framework
One book, fourteen sections. Every asset type gets its own six-phase lifecycle, from plan to retire, with maturity dimensions scored 0 to 5.
Competency Framework
One book, fourteen sections. Four core competencies for every organisation and ten extended ones chosen by need. Each defines how its maturity dimensions apply to every asset type.
