THE VALUE MANDATE focuses on the parts of the business which contain 80+% percent of the firm's missing value: the four key operating and administrative sectors of the firm.
This book begins with a robust value development blueprint which encompasses BOTH present company value and that the potential-that is, maximum-- value of that specific firm. THE VALUE MANDATE then probes beyond the statistics to show how to develop solid action initiatives that 'narrow this value gap', achieving maximum shareholder value in innovation, supply chain, marketing & sales and administration.
Each chapter is filled with numerous examples of high value-generating applications. THE VALUE MANDATE is an immediate resource for the senior manager seeking to significantly improve his company's value. And, a continuing reference for the chief executive who wants to ensure that his company stays on top, in value terms. The CEO who wants to make sure that he has a solid program and actions behind his statement that "we achieve maximum shareholder value".
One special chapter explores the chief executive's key challenges and mandates in developing maximum shareholder value. Another chapter addresses the identification, recruitment and retention of 'Corporate Key Contributors'. CKCs are five percent or so of value superstars who create most of the value. They are the walking, talking sources of corporate wealth without whom even the best value development plan fails
