This PPT slide, part of the 69-slide McKinsey Problem-Solving Toolkit PowerPoint presentation, outlines a framework for creating value through a structured analysis. At the top level, it identifies "Value" as the central focus, branching into key components that drive value creation. The first branch is "Growth," which emphasizes the importance of increasing growth when returns surpass the cost of capital. This suggests that organizations should prioritize investments that yield higher returns than their capital costs to enhance overall value.
The second branch is "Economic Profit," which is defined as the product of economic profit and invested capital. This section highlights the necessity of investing in businesses that generate returns above their capital costs. It implies a strategic approach to capital allocation, ensuring that resources are directed toward the most promising opportunities.
Further down, the slide introduces "ROIC" (Return on Invested Capital) and "WAAC" (Weighted Average Cost of Capital). ROIC focuses on improving returns by increasing margins and capital turnover, indicating that operational efficiency and effective resource management are critical for maximizing returns. Conversely, WAAC emphasizes the importance of reducing capital costs through optimal capital structure, which can enhance profitability.
Overall, the slide presents a clear and concise methodology for executives to consider when evaluating investment opportunities and operational strategies. It encourages a holistic view of value creation, integrating growth, economic profit, and capital efficiency. This framework can serve as a valuable tool for decision-making, guiding organizations toward sustainable financial performance.
