Business Value Builder™

Business Value Builder™ is a proprietary business management process designed to enhance the value of your enterprise, both immediately and over time.  The process guides you toward business decisions that result in greater cash flow and profitability.  And, over time, the value of your equity will build, so you will get a higher valuation whenever you plan to sell.

How It Works

Business Value Builder™ uses powerful Value Creation Analysis methods to help you think in ways that directly link specific management decisions and operating actions to predictable value results.  You will immediately know which business activities are helping or hurting the value of your company, and you’ll be able to predict the impact on value from any anticipated decision or change. Business Value Builder™ guides you and your management team day-to-day as you grapple with questions such as:

  • Which products are mainstays of the business?  Will any turn out to be dogs?  Where are there new product opportunities?

  • How does our enterprise compare with direct competitors and other peers, and with the industry as a whole?  And how can we enable our organization to outperform competitors?

  • Which functional areas or divisions within the organization should be expanded to enhance overall value?  Which can be reduced or eliminated?  And, how much value can we expect to gain?

  • Which managers and staff are having the greatest positive impact on enterprise value?  How should they be compensated so as to reflect the value they bring to the table?

  • How will specific merger, acquisition and divestiture opportunities impact the value of the company?
How Your Business Will Benefit

Business Value Builder™ shows your management team what each of them must do to create value, identifies how each part of your organization contributes to the desired performance, and creates a value-driven performance culture throughout your organization.  Your management and frontline staff will be highly motivated to deliver their best performance, knowing that their compensation is directly and measurably tied to the value they bring.  Ultimately, the value of your business equity will increase based on growing sales and cash flow, more profitable customer relationships, better staff retention, and elimination of wasteful activities.

Business brokers and Wall Street firms are dealmakers – they may be helpful to you once you’re ready to sell your business.  But this may be years down the road.  In the meantime, Business Value Builder™ gives you the tools you need now in order to measure their firm's value on an ongoing basis, and continually increase that value by meaningful improvements in the firm's performance.

Not Just Business Planning … RESULTS

Business Value Builder™ begins with fact-based, strategic business planning but it doesn’t end there.  It is a dynamic, self-adapting system that continually monitors external market and competitive conditions as well as internal performance variables, to inform you exactly when and how changes are needed to seize emerging opportunities or avoid problems.

Business Value Builder™ is based on sophisticated analytic tools that have been successfully used by Fortune 500 corporations to increase performance and create shareholder value.  Now, for the first time, this analytical horsepower has been adapted for use by privately held and publicly traded middle market companies in a way that provides simple, intuitive measures of value that you can use to enhance the value of your business.

What We Deliver

Business Value Builder™ is delivered through collaboration between our highly qualified, multi-disciplinary consulting team and your leadership team.  The process involves an initial consultation and systems installation as well as ongoing refinements and updates:

  1. A rigorous assessment of current situation, incorporating customers, competitors, technologies and internal capabilities, SWOT analysis, market segmentation, value chain analysis, strategy maps, and simulations.

  2. Development of a “value equation” based on the above, that spells out the precise relationship between management actions of all types and enterprise value results.

  3. Easy-to-use tools to calculate ongoing value impact of alternative operating results, major management decisions and significant changes in external environment.

  4. Practical execution roadmaps incorporating reporting formats, decision making tools, compensation targets, and processes for evaluating mergers, acquisitions and capital deployment.

  5. Quarterly updates that reflect changes in enterprise value relative to changes in external markets and competitive performance, as well as internal performance variables.
