The 40% Solution: Five Rules for Achieving Superior Business Performance

Using five simple rules, organizations can achieve breakthrough performance that can yield an up to 40% improvement in financial results. But many organizations fail to obtain these results and realize their full value potential because they don’t understand how value is created and delivered. SDG’s value system, presented as five simple rules, provides a proven approach to optimizing a company’s performance as measured by the value it produces.

In our upcoming Executive eBriefing, Brian Hagen and Ray Manganelli will discuss the five rules in an interactive program that includes case studies, statistics, proprietary survey results (which are based on interviews with 600 senior executives in a broad range of industries), and more.

You will learn why:

  • Strategies often identify less than one-half an organization’s optimal value
  • Organizational asset portfolios are often sub-optimal with respect to their current assets and levels of investment
  • Existing organizational designs frequently destroy or impede shareholder value
  • Financial measures of value are often both incorrectly selected and incorrectly applied.

Dr. Manganelli and Dr. Hagen will present practical, actionable rules that you can use right away in beginning to increase performance and maximize value, including:

  • Pinpointing and measuring sources of value and risk in business strategies
  • Measuring and managing the numerous asset portfolios in your organization
  • Designing organizational structures that enable value capture
  • Selecting financial measures that drive the right behaviors and the right decisions.
