Extraordinary Sustainable Value

THE QUANTIFIABLE TRUST THAT INVESTORS HAVE

IN A COMPANY’S LONG-TERM PROFITABILITY,

VALUE, AND SUCCESS.

1. EBITDA performance and gross margin strength
2. Effective business disciplines
3. Long-term attractiveness of the markets served
4. Excellent CEO and management team who create a strong culture
5. Predictable revenues from products and customer relationships

The Five Challenges to Creating Extraordinary Sustainable Value:

1. Survival – Faced with increasing internal and external challenges, including people, systems, decision-making, and financial.
2. Value Trap – Owners inability to increase value, and doesn’t have enough value to sell.
3. Decision Process – Making decisions in a vacuum, fighting for short-term survival instead of long-term success. No strategic plan.
4. Alignment/Execution – Owners not aligned on strategy and may not have “one voice” from owners to management.
5. Exit Plan – failure to align company’s capabilities and position to appeal to targeted investors.
