Our approach is designed to optimize the allocation of resources across businesses while maximizing portfolio value: i.e. in such a way that the value of the portfolio is greater than the sum of its parts. We take an integrated view of the corporate portfolio and the performance of each business unit. We run analyses at the unit level and the portfolio level in parallel and across several dimensions, including:

• market trends
• competitive strength
• financial performance
• opportunity
• cash flow balance

Our analyses link market opportunity to competitive position and financial performance for direct comparison of discrete investment opportunities. This information enables making clear decisions on resource allocations that build corporate advantage.
