The Game of Value Creation takes you inside the world of active investors, who acquire companies that offer substantial opportunities for value creation and turn them into success stories using a proven, calculated, and tactical approach, so that you too can benefit from the strategies that work for the big fish in your own business.
Karl Yaacoub, a former investment banker and private equity investor, reveals how to view a business as a series of interconnected parts while applying the same principles as world-leading institutions to help your organization achieve success.
Dreams
are never pursued with the expectation of mediocre results.
It’s
not to fail and learn a lesson that we get into business and
partnerships.
It’s because we want to get closer to our dreams. When
it
comes to our endeavors, we are not just in it for the experience; we
also
want to succeed and reap the rewards. For all that we have built
and
contributed, we hope to be recognized and appreciated.
This
book will help you realize that there is more to your business
journey,
even if you’re well on your way to being totally hands-off.
Your
legacy extends far beyond what you have done. In addition, you
will
have a framework that you can use to manifest “what could have
been”.
As
a result, you will likely start asking better questions and your discussions
will
become more engaging. As soon as you begin implementing
the
low-hanging fruit presented here, you will end up in a better position than
when you began, and you will see results as early
as
the first few months.
There
will be an upbeat tone when talking about your business, what
it
stands for, and what it represents. Business progress will become
clearer
not only to you, but to those you matter to in your sphere, the
stakeholders,
and the decision-makers.
Instead
of obsessing over maintaining control and micromanagement,
you
are going to obsess over creating value, improving your customers’
buying
journey, innovating, unlocking more cash to fund growth
projects,
and developing other leaders.
You
will be able to better understand how the market changes, how
your
organization should adapt, and how your target customers
think.
Your trust in growth will grow, and you will ensure those in
your
sphere of influence are also on the same journey, because they
have
chosen to be.
