Value Creation Planning
Driving growth and increasing value
Aligning big picture strategy with tactical execution is a challenge every organization faces. Closing the gap between strategy and execution and staying laser-focused is critical to achieve value creation. Too often value creation planning is done without clear alignment across key stakeholders, undermining execution, and thus missing strategic and financial goals. Without agreed upon prioritization and alignment, management can get distracted by initiatives that do not drive value. To achieve the desired goals, management teams need to collaboratively prioritize the initiatives that will provide the biggest impact.
Ankura’s Value Creation Planning framework catalyzes portfolio companies to achieve their strategic and financial goals by developing a detailed strategic plan bridging current state capability to future state opportunities. This methodology drives alignment, prioritization, and input from the portfolio company, private equity fund, board of directors, and other strategic advisors on the final plan.
