Building Enterprise Value

Building Enterprise Value is a practical examination of what makes a business strong, resilient, and increasingly valuable over time.

The book begins with a simple premise: the strength of an enterprise is ultimately determined by the quality of its strategic decisions. Financial results matter, but they are the consequence of choices involving leadership, governance, customers, competitive position, people, operations, capital, and risk.

Drawing on more than four decades of experience assessing businesses and leadership teams, Chris Page presents a framework centred on four interrelated drivers of enterprise value: Leadership and Governance, Competitive Position, Operational Excellence, and Financial Strength and Resilience.

The book also examines enterprise risk and the ways in which apparently successful businesses can become vulnerable when past assumptions are no longer tested. Through practical analysis and examples drawn from well-known companies, Building Enterprise Value encourages owners, directors, and senior leaders to look beyond current performance and consider whether their organizations are developing the capabilities, discipline, and resilience required for enduring success.

It is written for those responsible for making consequential decisions about the future of an enterprise.
