Business Literacy

  • The mission of our blog, Driving Your Company's Value, is to assist our readers in understanding what drives a company's value and to master the business literacy (knowledge) required to take advantage of those drivers of value.

Our Sponsor

  • Our sponsor is the SBV Network (www.strategicbenchmarking.com) a virtual community of consultants who come along side of companies to assist them with utilizing the Strategic Benchmarking for Value (SBV) framework to increase the company's value.

    SBV is a flexible framework for managing a business. It is centered on the specific aspects of a company that creates value for that company. Utilizing the SBV framework enables management to more readily focus their efforts and skills on what really creates value - the company's critical success factors.
