D elo itte Enterprise Value Map TM

(Practical paths to increase shareholder value)It’s easy to say shareholder value is important.Not so easy to make it influence the decisionsthat are made every day: where to spend timeand resources, how best to get things done, and,ultimately, how to win in the competitivemarketplace.This Map is designed to accelerate theconnection between actions you can take andshareholder value. It is not rocket science and itis not complete, but it can jump-start theprocess of focusing on the things that mattermost and then choosing practical ways to getthem done.

Here are two simple ways to use it:

Start at the top. Working your way down,at each step ask yourself, How will weimprove this? This will help ensure that yourtactics support your objectives.

Start at the bottom. Working your way up,at each step ask yourself, Why are we doingthis? This will help ensure that every tacticleads to shareholder value.

Deloitte Enterprise Value MapT M

(Practical paths to increase shareholder value)It’s easy to say shareholder value is important.Not so easy to make it influence the decisionsthat are made every day: where to spend timeand resources, how best to get things done, and,ultimately, how to win in the competitivemarketplace.This Map is designed to accelerate theconnection between actions you can take andshareholder value. It is not rocket science and itis not complete, but it can jump-start theprocess of focusing on the things that mattermost and then choosing practical ways to getthem done.

Here are two simple ways to use it: Start at the top. Working your way down,

at each step ask yourself, How will weimprove this? This will help ensure that yourtactics support your objectives.

Start at the bottom. Working your way up,at each step ask yourself, Why are we doingthis? This will help ensure that every tacticleads to shareholder value.
