Value-Based Management (VBM) is steadily growing in popularity around the world because it has brought its promised benefits to many companies: higher value and cultural transformation. But the race to create ever more value is far from over.
Value-Based Leadership, (VBL) the new frontier in value-based thinking, addresses the issues that conventional VBM has failed to deliver on: growth, innovation and entrepreneurship. These issues are important to all companies, but for some, such as those in pharmaceuticals, capital-intensive process industries, and the high-tech sector, they are central to competitive advantage.
Companies in these innovation-driven, commodity, and “big-bet” industries need metrics and approaches that take into account the uncertain, yet tremendous potential of innovation, optionality, and learning. Without these measures, VBM is virtually irrelevant to those industries.
In our next Executive eBriefing, Robin Arnold, David Fishman, and Carl Spetzler will discuss SDG’s perspectives on this vitally important topic and the evidence emerging from recent studies. The discussion, which will be illustrated by cases from SDG’s and others’ experiences, will be especially relevant if you are wondering:
- Why has VBM never seemed to fit my business or function?
- How can I build a forward-looking, growth-oriented business on a VBM foundation?
- Why is VBM identified with a single metric and is it always appropriate?
- What are the key success factors from VBM that must be carried forward?
- What are the additional success factors in VBL?
- What is the new frontier for value creation for companies on the leading edge of VBM?
