Financial Outcome Assessment™

The Financial Signature^® is a core concept in PLOM™. Several important consequences can be derived from the Financial Signature^® related to valuation outcome of an enterprise and the financial performance of an executive or team. The Financial Outcome Assessment™ results for an individual can also show the outcome of an enterprise under their control if and when they reach a position of leadership.

The Financial Outcome Assessment™ (FOA) assessment is an advanced instrument that provides the individual’s Financial Signature^® and potential valuation outcomes of their enterprise. It is targeted towards senior executives, managers and those individuals that aspire to a position of leadership at any level that has an impact on the market value of any enterprise. It is used not only by those who lead, or could lead, a profit center, but also for those who are or will be responsible for a cost center. For any individual not in a leadership position it will show them the likely valuation outcome of their leadership at any level in either a profit or a cost center.

The FOA offers a profile of the Financial Signatures^® of an individual, a team or a potential team of individuals who need to work together to achieve an outcome which will improve the market value of their enterprise, organization, unit or division.

The FOA takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. It is usually part of a Valuation Alignment Program™ or as part of a consulting assignment with Perth.

The Valuation Alignment Program™ (VAP)

A VAP is aimed exclusively at the CEO and the C-level team, or at the CEO and the board of directors. The aim of the VAP is to improve the valuation of a company by improving the alignment between staff, managers and executives and the valuation objectives of the organization.

Participants in the VAP complete the same three assessments as in the Behavioral Competitiveness™ Program. However in addition they each receive a FinSim report, based on these assessments, which shows them both individually and as a team what the precise impact of their behaviors will be on the income statement of the organization and on its valuation metrics and its market value.

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 of 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.

The VAP provides value to every level of an enterprise:
