The Valuation Alignment Program™ (VAP) is a unique and highly effective way to link the leadership resources of the organization with the improvement of its competitive position, its profitability and its financial performance.
A VAP:
Defines and measures competitive advantage through identifying the number and types of Financial Signatures® possessed by individuals in an organization relative to its competitors.
Measures and improves the ability fo the organization to expend its resources to accomplish competitive superiority.
The combination of these approaches leads to improved revenues, gross margins, profitability and cash flow and therefore to improved company valuation and market power.
A VAP aligns the Financial Signatures® of executives and leadership teams at all levels with the valuation objectives of the organization. This allows for the optimization of the organization's profitability and valuation through optimizing the membership and composition of senior management teams.
The purpose of the program is to assess each of the individual team members to arrive at a composite team profile and the impact of that profile on the valuation objectives of the organization. From this profile comes an identification of vulnerabilities, and corrective action needed.
