The Efficient Frontier: Enhancing the Value of Your Corporate Business Portfolio

Why settle for increased shareholder value when you can get a whole lot more?

Large companies routinely leave billions of dollars on the table by not capturing the full value of their business portfolios. Most business leaders do not miss the dollars of lost value because they never recognize that the potential was there.

Making business portfolio decisions that create the maximum value is the leadership challenge of our era. To realize the portfolio’s full potential, the corporate manager must identify the Efficient Frontier that shows the optimal relationships between shareholder value, earnings, risk, and capital investment. Once the company knows where its Efficient Frontier lies, it can implement a strategy to achieve the frontier.

The Efficient Frontier allows management to incorporate internal alternatives to build business units as well as external acquisition opportunities to create value. It also provides a consistent framework to evaluate acquisitions versus internal development.

In this one-hour, online Executive eBriefing, corporate executives, development directors, and private equity group managers will learn how some of the world’s most successful organizations use the Efficient Frontier to:

  • Define and achieve full value for a multi-business corporation
  • Identify the potential value and create a portfolio strategy to realize the potential
  • Make the difficult trade-offs between short-term financials and long-term value
  • Create and manage a culture focused on enhancing the value of the business portfolio
  • Measure and manage risk and utilize risk to create value
  • Achieve the right balance of acquisitions versus internal growth to drive corporate value creation.
