  • Value Creation Compass

    Executive teams need to think critically about how their business will create enterprise value. At times this is driven by circumstance – how market conditions are driving growth and profit. Ideally it is a strategic decision – an opportunity to evaluate the market potential and strategic opportunities ahead of you, and put the right initiatives in place to capture them.

    SBI’s Value Creation Compass (VCC) provides a framework for establishing your value creation strategy, and the growth levers that will get you there.

  • Value Creation Dimensions

    Value creation is a function of two dimensions of business performance – your rate of growth and your rate of investment. Those represent the central axes in the Value Creation Compass.

    It begins with the rate of growth – the vertical axis. What matters here is whether the growth rate is accelerating or decelerating, and how that reflects increasing economic value for the firm.

    Next is the rate of investment in the business – the horizontal axis. Here we consider not only whether operational expense is increasing or decreasing, but more broadly whether the rate of investment in the business is changing, including M&A, other capital expenditures, and any below-the-line investments.

  • Quadrant 1

    Accelerating Rate of Growth While Slowing Investment

    Growth Rate Investment

    Companies in this quadrant have commercial spend levels commensurate with peer benchmarks; however, the business is not growing at the expected rate given those investments, necessitating productivity gains.

  • Quadrant 2

    Accelerating Rate of Growth and Investment

    Growth Rate Investment

    This is an “art of the possible” thesis for high-growth companies focused on extracting breakout growth with increased investments in commercial functions.

  • Quadrant 3

    Converting to a More Valuable Revenue Stream and Model

    Growth Rate Investment

    Often a use case for shifting the revenue model dramatically (e.g., on-prem to SaaS conversions), these companies focus on making a step-change in their revenue model to drive future growth and enterprise value creation.

  • Quadrant 4

    Maintaining Growth Rate While Slowing Investment

    Growth Rate Investment

    Often seen in scenarios where a public company is taken private, this quadrant describes businesses that are achieving substandard growth rates, and tightly managing investments in order to continue to deliver value even as growth rates slow.
