Flevy Management Insights: VBM

As Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric, famously said, "An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage." Value-Based Management (VBM) is the epitome of translating organization's learning into action. According to a McKinsey report, VBM outperforms a variety of popular performance measures by focusing on generating shareholder value.

Value-Based Management is a management philosophy that puts shareholder value as the primary objective. The concept, advocated by McKinsey and Goldman Sachs, revolves around the belief that businesses exist to create value for shareholders, and management's role is to allocate resources in a way that maximizes this value.

For effective implementation, take a look at these VBM best practices:

The Importance of VBM

A well-implemented VBM increases an organization's overall performance. A study by PwC shows an above-average return on equity for firms using VBM. It aligns management's decisions with shareholder interests, bridges the gap between corporate strategy and operational activities, encourages value-adding behavior, and improves communication about the company's performance and strategic direction.

Implementing VBM

Despite its potential benefits, implementing VBM can pose significant challenges. Accenture points out various factors that successfully contribute to VBM implementation, including leadership commitment, communication, and structural alignment.

Leadership Commitment

Executives must be actively involved in promoting and implementing VBM. Leaders need to define and communicate the company's mission, and ensure it aligns with the aim of value creation. The role of top management in ensuring VBM efficacy is also highlighted by a Deloitte study, which noted a strong correlation between active leadership support and successful value-based initiatives.

Communication

Like Change Management, communication plays an essential role in the successful implementation of VBM. Employees need to understand the principles of value creation and how they can influence it. Bain advises fostering a common language about value creation that everyone understands.

Structural Alignment

Structural Alignment is as crucial to VBM as it is to Business Transformation. Organizational structures, systems, and processes need to be aligned to support VBM. For example, bonus systems should reward the creation of shareholder value. BCG suggests linking executive remuneration directly to value-creating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Adapting to the Digital Age

With the prevalence of Digital Transformation, VBM principles are undergoing significant updates. A notable shift is the move from shareholder value to broader stakeholder value, including employees, customers, and the community. Gartner points out that companies must leverage advanced analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain insights on stakeholder needs and interests, and utilize these for strategic decision-making in VBM.

Value-Based Management is more than a buzzword. It is a proven way to spur performance, align efforts, and bridge the divide between strategy and implementation. While VBM continues to evolve in the Digital Age, its core concept remains focused on value creation. The challenge for executives lies in the adoption and adaptation of such management philosophies, as the depth of their impact largely depends on their implementation and alignment with overall business strategy.
