Flevy Management Insights: Value Creation

As Larry Page, co-founder of Google, famously remarked, "If you're not doing some things that are crazy, then you're doing the wrong things." This echoes a truth in the world of Strategic Management: one must constantly innovate to create value.

In an intensely competitive business landscape, Value Creation is the bedrock upon which sustainable business success is built. It involves creating additional value for customers to win their loyalty, thereby creating continuing demand for the company's products or services.

Any conversation on Value Creation must first acknowledge the dual-faceted nature of this concept. One must consider not just the value delivered to customers, but also the value that accrues to the business as a result of this process.

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

Principles of Effective Value Creation

The principles of effective Value Creation largely revolve around understanding three key dimensions: the customer, the company, and the competition.

First, a deep understanding of the customer is paramount. Businesses must identify the needs and expectations of their customers, and tailor their offerings accordingly. As part of this, companies should focus on providing a superior customer experience. Incorporating principles of Customer Experience Management into strategic planning can elevate the perceived value of a brand in the market, and thereby attract a loyal customer base.

The second dimension revolves around internal capabilities. If a business is to create value, it must have a clear idea of its own strengths and weaknesses. This should inform the company's operational excellence strategy, seeking to leverage its unique competitive advantages while simultaneously addressing areas of weakness.

Lastly, a solid grasp of the competitive landscape is crucial. Understanding competitors' tactics, strengths and potential vulnerabilities allows businesses to effectively position themselves to gain market share.

Value Creation in the Digital Era

The advent of the digital era has altered the traditional approach to Value Creation. Businesses must now factor in Digital Transformation to remain competitive.

Digital Transformation refers to the use of digital technologies to create new—or modify existing—business processes, culture, and customer experiences to meet changing business and market requirements. Companies must understand that Digital Transformation transcends mere implementation of new technologies. It is, more importantly, about leveraging these technologies to enhance every aspect of the business, from product development, marketing, and sales to customer service and Performance Management. This demands a holistic, enterprise-wide approach to Digital Transformation.

The Role of Leadership in Value Creation

Creatively building additional business value requires a combination of visionary leadership, dynamic strategic planning, robust Risk Management and meticulous execution. As such, the role of leadership in Value Creation is critical. Leaders must cultivate a culture of innovation and continuous improvement. They also need to create an environment conducive to risk-taking and engagement, driving staff to think beyond the obvious in the quest for innovation. Fostering this creativity target=_blank>creativity is the key to lasting Value Creation.
