How a Business Strategy Review Helps Build Enterprise Value
Description
In this episode of the Inside BS show, Dave Lorenzo discusses how a business strategy review can impact enterprise value. He explains that enterprise value is the bottom line of a business and what someone would pay for it. To increase the value of a business, a business strategy review should be conducted every year. The 10 areas that should be reviewed are the drivers of business value, including revenue streams, leadership development, standard operating procedures, human resources processes, legal exposure, brand reputation, sales and marketing systems, market and industry conditions, financial condition and reporting, and cybersecurity and technology systems. After analyzing these drivers, a market analysis is conducted, financial statements are reviewed, operational efficiency is assessed, customer and stakeholder feedback is gathered, and competitive positioning is evaluated. The findings are compiled into a report and a strategic plan is developed to improve the business. By implementing the recommendations from the business strategy review, the value of the business can be increased.
