How the Lages Family Used the VCW to Choose the Right Dog
A Family Decision Done Right
When it came to choosing the perfect dog breed, the Lages family didn’t leave it to chance. They applied the Value Creation Wheel (VCW) to ensure every voice was heard and every preference carefully considered. After all, selecting a new family member is a meaningful decision—one that deserves clarity, alignment, and the right trade-offs.
Phase 1: Define – Clarifying the Challenge
The objective was clear: identify a dog breed that best fits the family’s lifestyle and values. From the start, the family recognized that this was not about finding any dog—but the right dog.
Phase 2: Increase – Expanding Options and Criteria
With over 300 officially recognized dogs breeds worldwide*, the challenge quickly became one of complexity. Each family member and the dog experts contributed different criteria, such as:
practical considerations such as health, maintenance, and cost
behavioral traits like playfulness and trainability
lifestyle fit, including routines, space, and time availability
This phase ensured diverse ideas and criteria were explored before narrowing down options.

Phase 3: Assess – Structuring Preferences and Trade-offs
The family transformed preferences into structured criteria. Rather than debating opinions, they:
defined what mattered most
identified key trade-offs
ranked the filters and weigh the criteria
This shifted the conversation from subjective preferences to evidence-based discussion, creating alignment and uncovering new insights.
Phase 4: Narrow – Prioritizing the Best Fit
The family systematically evaluated and shortlisted the most suitable breeds. Key filters included:
hypoallergenic characteristics
intelligence and trainability
fit with living space and daily routines
compatibility with work schedules and budget
health and behavioral traits
The VCW made trade‑offs explicit, helping them prioritize what mattered and reach a rational, shared decision.
Phase 5: Act – Committing with Confidence
The final decision was reached with full alignment and confidence. What could have been a difficult or emotional debate became a structured, collaborative journey, resulting in the lovely dog in the picture:, i.e.:
a well-justified choice
shared ownership of the decision
confidence in long-term satisfaction
Final Reflection
The VCW transformed a complex, multi-criteria decision into a clear and engaging process.
