Global
Market Trends
In the
course of our work, we observe the evolution of competitive strategies
amongst corporates in an increasingly globalised market. With
any business which appears to be attractive and globally accessible, it
quickly attracts frenzied competition from established players and new
entrants, all racing to dominate the field. In some maturing industries
there is no clear leader. Instead, there are many players with little
differentiation in services.
Fueled
by fierce competition, corporates may have been solely focused on growth
in market share, with insufficient regard for adequate returns on invested
capital, if any, which should be re-invested into productive, high-yielding
businesses.
Even where
adequate returns are possible, corporates that in the past approved each
and every project earning in excess of the cost of capital may have also
failed to take into account the high opportunity cost of committing not
just financial capital, but also talented human resources, to marginal
projects.
Our Approach
to Value Creation
Through research and development efforts, we have developed
the Value Seek Analyser (VSATM), a set of tools which quickly
afford us an overview of a corporates value drivers and performance.
VSA benchmarks corporate performance and surfaces value creation opportunities.
Corporates
with fundamentally sound attributes but temporary liquidity impairment
may wonder where their corporate strategy has failed. The corporate
may have unwittingly indulged in value destruction.
We believe
the way forward is to re-focus the corporate strategy on customers needs
and value creation principles. Here, the Exercise should entail the
necessary steps (see Figure 1) :
