The document discusses the importance of sustainability and transferability in building enterprise value for private companies. It states that value is a long-term measure of a company's ability to profitably continue operations and be sold. The most valuable private companies conduct themselves similarly to public companies by having transparent structures, succession plans, and minimizing risks. Ignoring sustainability and transferability could severely reduce a company's value if the owner suddenly left, as the business may not survive without the owner's leadership and vision.
Growth is essential for businesses to survive and thrive over the long run. As businesses mature, owners face a choice between continuing to invest in growth or focusing on cash preservation, which can lead to decline. The top priority for building long-term value is maintaining a history of growth, especially in recent years. Entering a period of mass business owner retirements, growth will be critical to business survival and valuation.
There are many companies doing fine in the face of this recession. Some are in the “right” industry, some have a “killer” product or service and some are thriving by design.
Companies that have the ability to weather and thrive regardless of the economic cycle have some common characteristics.
The document summarizes findings from a study of startup success factors. It identifies 14 key findings grouped into 4 types of startups based on their characteristics:
1) Type 1 "The Automizer" - technology-focused startups that automate manual processes, with larger market sizes and needing the least capital.
2) Type 1N "The Social Transformer" - startups focused on social interactions that require more time and capital to reach scale.
3) Type 2 "The Integrator" - product-focused startups serving smaller markets through sales teams, needing less time to scale.
4) Type 3 "The Challenger" - enterprise sales-focused startups with the largest market
Shifting consumer trends and pressure to operate more efficiently mean operational structures must be scrutinized and changes identified, though enacting changes effectively is challenging. Successful changes require buy-in from company culture, which is difficult to change without crisis or over generations. Proper changes also take 6 months to change behaviors. The tone explaining new directions must be carefully judged and address relevance for employees. Creating a narrative around changes rooted in company heritage and values can help engage employees in understanding and driving changes. Maintaining momentum and accountability for delivering changes is important to achieve desired results with integrity.
The document provides a summary of common "half-truths" regarding mergers and acquisitions best practices. It discusses 10 commonly held beliefs and provides a more complete "whole truth" for each one. The document cautions against overconfidence in M&A best practices, noting significant variations and a lack of definitive outcomes. It emphasizes humility is needed when managing M&As, as maxims can be misconstrued if not fully understood in context.
The document provides financial advice for entrepreneurs. It begins with 10 fundamental financial tenets that entrepreneurs should understand, including: ensuring cash flow, establishing financial systems early, measuring key metrics, creating annual budgets, using vendors and customers to fund the business, avoiding personal guarantees when financing, choosing financial professionals carefully, and paying taxes on time. Following the advice can help entrepreneurs put their company on a sound financial footing for success.
This white paper discusses five steps for successful succession planning for advisory firms: 1) define goals, 2) weigh options like selling, merging, or internal transition, 3) structure the transaction and transition, 4) check for compliance, and 5) communicate the change to clients. It emphasizes starting succession planning early, identifying a worthy internal successor, and creating a formal plan to protect clients, employees, and the firm's value.
This document discusses developing new business ideas. It covers characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, identifying business opportunities by finding gaps in the market and consumer needs. It also discusses evaluating business opportunities through research and determining market demand. Additionally, it addresses economic considerations, financing options, measuring potential success through sales estimates and profits, and putting the business idea into practice with a business plan. The document provides resources for further reading and research on business topics.

It emphasizes the importance of thoroughly validating the business concept through customer interviews to understand market problems and ensure there is demand. Entrepreneurs should research whether they are truly solving a problem, identify who their target customers are, and determine if there are enough of those customers. Failing to properly plan and validate ideas in the beginning greatly increases the risk of startup failure within the first few years.
This document provides an overview of Tatum, the largest consulting and interim management firm focused on the Office of the CFO.

Building a company is not exactly paint-by-numbers, and there is no formula or manual out there that can effectively describe how to manage a tech start-up. Entrepreneurs that get it have often first tried, failed, and tried again before finding success.

Decision-making poker is a tool for portfolio management that uses a scoring model to capture the collective intelligence of multiple perspectives on potential projects. It involves dividing participants into small groups to discuss and score one-page stories for various projects based on key factors like strategic alignment, team energy, customer value, and assumptions. The groups then discuss their scores and priorities to generate an agreed-upon ranked list. This list provides input into the actual project execution order. By involving employees in scoring and discussion, decision-making poker aims to improve strategic alignment, energize participants, and speed up decision-making and innovation diffusion.

Steve Denning: Radical Management Vortrag am Internet-Briefing Sep13-2011Walter Schärer
‘Radical Management’ is a set of 5 principles. There are only two types of organizations: The ones that love and delight their customers and the others. Amazon, Apple, Salesforce are organizations that have succeded despite fierce competition due to delighted customers.
What’s their management principles?
Speech by Stephen Denning at Reto Hartinger’s Internet Briefing in Zurich.
The document discusses introducing a new business model and portfolio anatomy tool for a struggling surfing brand. It proposes focusing the brand exclusively on surfers by offering a board shipping service and renting dynamic warehouse space. A portfolio anatomy would help visualize the relationships between projects like transitioning suppliers, integrating warehouses, launching new services and IT system updates needed to implement the changes. Breaking dependencies and adopting shorter iteration cycles could help explore opportunities and adapt the portfolio to improve flexibility.
INNOVATE provides executive briefings and consulting services to help companies achieve breakaway growth above historic trend lines. The briefing discusses identifying new areas of growth through innovation and playing a new game to disrupt established markets. It outlines INNOVATE's 5 workstreams approach to disruptive foresight, business concept ideation, portfolio building, entrepreneurial ventures, and governance/infrastructure to help companies chart new growth paths. INNOVATE's global network and experience executing venture-style growth projects positions them to be catalysts for clients' breakaway growth strategies.
Traditional management is focused on efficiency, compliance, and top-down directives from managers. However, this approach kills creativity, limits employee engagement, and pays little attention to communication and emotional needs. Radical management shifts the purpose to delighting customers, uses self-organizing teams and two-way accountability, and communicates through stories and conversations rather than commands. Work is organized into short iterative cycles driven by customer needs. This approach leads to thriving firms, deep job satisfaction, and delighted customers.
1. Marketing involves understanding customers, competitors, and developing a marketing mix to meet customer needs.
2. The marketing mix consists of the "4 Ps" - product, price, promotion, and place. It is important to offer valuable products at appropriate prices and promote them effectively through various channels to reach customers.
3. Whether marketing to businesses (B2B) or consumers (B2C), understanding the market and customer needs is key to success. Price, promotion, and place strategies may differ between B2B and B2C.
Howto Motivate Your Sales Forceto Great PerformanceAnil Kumar
This document discusses how to effectively motivate a sales force. It begins by noting that traditional incentive compensation based solely on financial rewards is often insufficient. It then summarizes research showing that sales cycles are getting longer and conversion rates are declining, underscoring the increased challenges of today's sales environment. The document advocates taking a more holistic approach to motivation that considers additional human needs beyond compensation, such as trust, recognition, and opportunities for growth. It discusses how these types of non-financial motivators can be more effective than financial incentives alone at driving performance. Achieving the right motivational culture requires understanding factors like those in Maslow's hierarchy of needs applied to a sales force context.

This document discusses leadership and group dynamics within startups. It notes that while not all new companies are startups, startups are designed for very fast growth when small in size and recently founded. It explores how the costs to launch an internet startup have decreased and professional support structures have increased. It examines the culture of failure within startups and discusses leadership qualities and how team dynamics change over the startup lifecycle from the initial founding to later growth stages.

The document discusses the importance of business owners having contingency plans in place in case of unexpected events. It emphasizes that owners should have succession plans so their business can survive without them, as well as having their business regularly valued and ensuring buy-sell agreements between partners are up to date. The author urges owners to address these issues rather than leaving problems for heirs to deal with after they are gone.
The document provides advice for business owners during uncertain economic times. It recommends developing a strategic plan to strengthen the business and increase its value. Now is a good time to improve processes, gain customers from struggling competitors, and make the company more sustainable and valuable. The author advises talking to customers and suppliers to understand how to support them, and working with banks by being proactive if needing funding help. Overall business owners should take a strategic approach of continuously improving their company rather than just waiting for economic conditions to change.
This white paper discusses modern business practices that focus too heavily on short-term goals at the expense of long-term sustainability. It argues that excessive ambition, high staff turnover, and short-term thinking undermine cohesion and skill development within companies. The paper proposes that businesses should define a "core purpose" to guide long-term decision-making and ensure it aligns with developing human capital rather than only short-term metrics like quarterly earnings. Employees should be measured based on their support of the core purpose rather than just short-term deliverables. This could help businesses sustain capabilities over decades rather than seeing skills erode.
Some thoughts for any business, consultancy or agency looking to transform and grow through the power of purpose....would love to hear from you

Succession planning, regardless of the age of owners or management, is not an event, but an ongoing process that needs to begin now. Find out what are the are critical decisions that need to be addressed (but not necessarily resolved today)
Visionary companies are institutions that have a significant long-term impact and are admired within their industries. They prosper over many product life cycles and leadership generations through building a strong organization, not relying on a single great idea or leader. True visionary companies are focused on "clock building" rather than just implementing ideas - they concentrate on developing strong organizational capabilities and culture that allow them to continually evolve and succeed beyond any single product or leader. Their greatest creation is the company itself and what it stands for in serving people and society, not just profits or the ego of any individual.
GT Succeeding at succession: establishing the value of your company CanadaGrant Thornton
To maximize profits and value upon a succession, privately held businesses should start planning for succession several years in advance. Don't wait for a year of super profits, or a year of weak performance, to plan an exit. Start early, so you can transition on your own terms, while you are in control. Understanding your business's value drivers, such as financial performance, industry trends, management skills, tangible and intangible assets, is essential for strategic succession planning and enhancing the long-term value and viability of the business. Valuation methods exist to determine a business's worth, but the final value is an art that depends on the context and goals of the succession.
To Sustainability & Beyond... Will Integration Ever Become the New Norm?Amelia Green
After speaking to hundreds of sustainability professionals, senior business managers and industry thought leaders, gauging opinions on what best practice looks like when it comes to structuring sustainability, we have been able to produce this report.
This document summarizes a conference hosted by Celerant Consulting on how procurement professionals can add value in the process of buying business improvement services. The conference featured speakers from Insight Sourcing Solutions, 100% Effective Training & Consultancy, and Celerant Consulting. They discussed how procurement can become more "knowledgeable buyers" by getting involved earlier, understanding business needs, and focusing on engagement outcomes rather than costs. Effective characteristics of consultancies and ways to validate consultancies and ensure successful project delivery were also covered. The goal is to help procurement and consultancies work together to define outcomes and deliver the best business improvement programs.
1) Obtaining an independent business valuation is one of the first recommendations of an exit planning advisor to avoid surprises and disputes over value when transferring ownership.
2) A valuation helps owners understand what the business is truly worth and determine how much will be needed to meet financial security goals rather than relying on guesses or comparisons.
3) Valuations also prevent disagreements with employees over incentive programs linked to business value growth or disputes with the IRS over minority discounts.
The document provides advice on maximizing the value of a business for sale by focusing on succession planning and finding a strategic buyer. Some key points:
- 55% of Australian business exits are due to failures like bankruptcy or illness rather than planned succession.
- Business owners need to dedicate time to strategic succession planning to attract well-prepared buyers and maximize sale value.
- Finding a strategic buyer who can leverage your business's value, like Apple purchasing voice recognition software, can yield a higher sale price than the business is worth.
- Owners should relentlessly focus on attracting strategic buyers by aligning their business with potential buyers' products and customers. This can result in premium prices like Facebook
The document discusses various aspects of entrepreneurship including what entrepreneurship is, characteristics of entrepreneurs, advantages and disadvantages of being an entrepreneur, different forms of business ownership like sole proprietorship, partnership and corporations. It also talks about acquiring existing companies through bankruptcy, business brokers or networking. Key steps in starting a new company or acquiring an existing one are identified. The document concludes with lessons learned from experience and the importance of entrepreneurship programs at universities.
5 Things to Remember In the Changing Landscape of VCAvalon Ventures
Brady Bohrmann outlines 5 things for venture capitalists to remember in today's changing VC landscape: 1) There are two types of VCs - those who see themselves as working for the entrepreneur, and those who see the entrepreneur as working for them. 2) People are the most important part of any investment. 3) Reputations matter more than ever before. 4) Executive compensation should be based on company needs as they change over time. 5) VCs should only retain covenants that they will actually use and remove traditional provisions that add unnecessary control. Overall, VCs who coach founders to success and value relationships will retain their value in the emerging funding environment.
The document provides an overview of Bluesky Connect, a publication from Bluesky HR Solutions.
The first section discusses the need for moderate, periodic attrition of strategic and leadership levels to encourage organizational change and renewal. The next section emphasizes the importance of dashboard management for SMEs to make timely, accurate decisions. It states key personnel and executive attrition are more important metrics than general attrition.
The last section announces new additions to the Bluesky team, client updates, an upcoming management development program, and solicits interest in outsourcing HR functions.
The document discusses how to structure companies so that employees act like owners through creating "businesses within the business". It provides examples of companies that have done this successfully, including:
- Morning Star Foods, where workers manage themselves in peer-to-peer relationships and business units negotiate agreements like small businesses.
- Nordstrom, where salespeople have autonomy to make decisions and operate their own "stores" within the larger company.
- Rational Software, where cross-functional teams operated autonomously as stand-alone pods to serve customers.
- Semco, a Brazilian conglomerate that uses democratic management where workers have autonomy over decisions.
The document argues this "podular" structure

After speaking to hundreds of sustainability professionals, senior business managers and industry thought leaders, gauging opinions on what best practice looks like when it comes to structuring sustainability, we have been able to produce this report.
The document discusses sustainability structures in companies. It finds that most companies now acknowledge the need to be more sustainable, but words are not always translating into action. Effective sustainability requires both financial and cultural investment from companies. While no single model exists, clear reporting lines, strong leadership, and accountability are important for success.
The document discusses ways for enterprises to protect themselves from unexpected risks and challenges. It describes how unanticipated issues can undermine business initiatives and inflict financial and reputational harm. The author proposes using a consulting process called Plan-Protect and Protect-Biz, which helps businesses identify risks, question assumptions, and develop contingency plans through facilitated workshops. The goal is to give enterprises a management tool to minimize vulnerabilities and avoid setbacks.
Key elements of transitioning from intrapreneur to entrepreneureTailing India
Every forward-thinking firm seeks to nurture its employees, and most will say they already do, but intrapreneurship goes further. It’s about embracing creativity and innovation, and enabling employees to turn ideas into something of real value to the business.

The document discusses the concept of "WIIFM" (What's In It For Me) and how understanding a customer's needs and wants is essential for sales success. It describes working with a company whose equipment sales had declined, but whose parts and service business was still strong. The author recommends using parts and service as a way for salespeople to strengthen customer relationships and better understand customers' full range of needs. However, the sales team resisted the idea because it would reduce their equipment commissions and not directly address their own WIIFM. The key lessons are that satisfying customer WIIFM requires understanding their current and future needs, providing more attention than competitors, monitoring changing customer needs, and putting customer needs first.
Having a strategic plan is crucial for business success. Strategic plans allow businesses to anticipate changes, adjust tactics, and ensure they are reaching goals. The best performing companies actively use and update strategic plans as part of regular business operations. Outsiders now view strategic plans as one of the most important factors in evaluating a business's risk level and management capabilities. Developing a strategic plan helps businesses strengthen operations and allows employees to better understand and contribute to the company's objectives.
Whether your company is on a high growth roll, merely trying to survive this recession or somewhere in between, if you aren’t using forecasts, you may be incredibly lucky. The odds of continued success and building a high-value company are stacked against you. On the other hand, that may help explain why you are in survival mode. Forecasting can change the odds to your favor.
The document discusses the importance for business owners with loans to understand their current financial compliance status and have a plan to communicate with lenders. Key points made:
1) Loan agreements require submitting financial statements and covenant compliance within 120 days of fiscal year end, often by April 30th.
2) Owners should understand their debt coverage, leverage, and other financial ratios to assess compliance.
3) Those out of compliance need a written short-term strategic plan and to communicate proactively with lenders to avoid renegotiation or issues.
The document discusses five categories of metrics that companies should use to measure performance: 1) customer metrics like on-time completion, 2) productivity metrics, 3) inventory metrics, 4) quality metrics, and 5) employee welfare metrics. It argues that non-financial metrics can be more effective than financial metrics alone and that metrics should be shared with employees to empower them and improve performance. When the right metrics are selected and regularly communicated, employees will be more productive and the company will perform better.
