“Building Value in Your Business While Running It”

Company owners, executives and advisors are generally focused on business operations and performance. Most tend to defer thinking about how the components of their business’ operations and performance influence the overall value of the organization. It’s the enterprise value that is of prime importance to lenders, vendors, potential partners, suitors and some customers – all of whom play a pivotal role in a company’s future.

Our Topic, “Building Value in Your Business While Running It” …brings together experienced practitioners and business people who have had hands-on experience in building business value. They will share their knowledge and insights into how an understanding of a company’s value helps drive the kind of decisions that build real value for the long term.

Chris Mellen will be our Conversation Moderator….
