What better way to start our 2017 meetings then by focusing on the most critical outcome of your business---Enterprise Value.

Selling a business is all about risk. The higher the risk, the lower the value. The lower the risk, the higher the value. As business leaders, it is a primary function of our positions to increase the attractiveness of our businesses and ready them for scrutiny by a potential buyer.

In 2014, Sanders Industries, a manufacturer of tools used in large, composite structure manufacturing was acquired by Industrial Growth Partners (and was renamed Integrated Polymer Solutions). Join us as Larry O'Toole, Sanders' CEO, will discuss the tangible and effective steps that can be taken to build enterprise value and, most of all, how to capture it through a liquidity event.

Whether you run a department, or an entire business, creating enterprise value is a key part, if not the sole purpose, of the job. Too often, however, thought is given too late in the game. How should you think about the process of creating enterprise value and how do we maximize it when the time is right? How do we gauge the value and readiness of our businesses? What processes should we put in place? What reports, timelines, and scorecards should we create? How do we develop and implement an effective exit strategy and, most of all... Start giving serious thought and action to maximizing your enterprise value.
