Enterprise value is a comprehensive measure of your business's total worth if it were to be sold or transferred, taking into account not just revenue and profit but also factors like debt, growth potential, market conditions, and intangible assets. Unlike revenue, which is your total income, or profit, which is income after expenses, enterprise value reflects the overall health, scalability, and attractiveness of the business to potential buyers. It’s a way to gauge long-term value rather than just short-term financial performance.

To measure your enterprise value, we analyze key metrics such as current revenue, profitability, industry market multiples, and factors specific to your business, like recurring revenue, customer base, and operational efficiency. We use a detailed assessment process that evaluates your business’s current performance and potential, often alongside comparisons with similar businesses in the industry. This measurement gives you an accurate baseline and insight into areas where strategic improvements can increase your value.

The investment in each phase—Measure, Plan, and Grow—drives measurable value creation that aligns with your short and long-term goals. In the short term, you’ll see gains in operational efficiency and employee engagement that drive revenue and profit growth. Over the long term, our goal is to help you drive substantial increases in enterprise value at least 10 times or more than your investment.

We support effective execution by setting clear, measurable goals and assigning specific roles and responsibilities during the workshops. Each plan is linked to OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) to track progress and ensure accountability. Additionally, we conduct regular check-ins, 90-day sprints, and provide guidance as your team works on implementing the action steps. This ongoing support keeps the plan on track and allows for adjustments as needed to meet targets.

Most engagements with Value Creation Engines typically last between 24 to 48 months, depending on your business’s goals and the complexity of value acceleration efforts. This duration allows enough time to measure current value, develop a robust plan, and execute multiple growth sprints to achieve significant, sustainable results.

We recommend a minimum commitment of 12 months to allow for meaningful progress in the value creation process. However, if you need to pause or end the engagement early, we can work with you to ensure a smooth transition and that any ongoing initiatives are handed over effectively, helping to maintain momentum toward your goals.
