Value Based Management (VBM) is a business philosophy that focuses on maximizing long-term shareholder wealth by increasing a company’s value … VBM cultivates ownership accountability across all levels of an organization, motivating managers and employees to think, act, and get paid like owners. Employees are required to meet or exceed shareholders' expectations by improving the company’s Economic Profit or Economic Value Added (EVA). Our full VBM implementation consists of 4 key elements: Value Audit - Use the right measure. Gauge performance on the operating measure that maximizes shareholder value. VBM Training - Make better business decisions. Complement ‘business instinct’ with financial due diligence. Strategic Value Initiatives - Improve, Divest, Grow. Unlock hidden value through strategic EVA initiatives. VBM Incentive Compensation - EVA based compensation aligns the interests of management and employees with shareholders.
