One of the most popular
methods of corporate valuation on Wall Street is the DCF,
or Discounted Cash Flow model. The assumption behind the DCF
model is that a business is worth the present value of its
future free cash flows, not traditional accounting measures
of corporate performance. EVM Executive Edition offers a framework
that better explains the dynamic relationship between performance
and corporate valuation by linking internal management targets
and actions with an external investor perspective.

Top down goal setting and
bottom up executable plan forming |
|
| |
Executives may discuss top-down
goals and value-driven forecasts in financial terms, while
business unit managers think in terms of units of measure.
By combining top-down modeling and planning with bottom-up
execution plan forming as a continual process — with
common value drivers and assumptions — businesses can
change operational plans rapidly and efficiently, while identifying
and analyzing the gaps in between.

Expense budgets and forecasts
generated by departmental activity-based events and organizational
headcount plan |
|
| |
Resources should not be allocated
through negotiation and horse-trading, instead, should be
allocated in accordance with the value creation efforts. EVM Executive Edition provides an effective expense budgeting
mechanism to increase accountability. Business line managers
submit their expense budgets and headcount plans based on
the activities or internal projects that their departments
will perform or accomplish during the forecasting periods.
The performance of each project or departmental activity will
then be tracked and compared against the preset goals to increase
accountability and to facilitate effective allocation of resources.

Rolling forecast allowing
continuous and effective strategic planning |
|
| |
Most “static” annual
budget processes fail to provide a clear vision of the enterprise’s
impending direction. Continuous planning and forecasting is
replacing traditional annual planning and budgeting as key
elements in effective corporate performance management system.
EVM Executive Edition offers the rolling forecast function
that allows organizations to effectively integrate the ongoing
strategic planning process with the specific quantifiable
measures to prompt executives to think outside the minutiae
of the budget and short-term goals and instead focus on long-term
value creation.

What-if scenarios analysis
based on user-defined KPI |
|
| |
The ability to test the financial
consequences of a decision is critical to any business strategy.
Testing new ideas on a practical level is a risky operation.
What a business really needs is the ability to try out a series
of different what-if scenarios in the safety of a virtual
environment. EVM Executive Edition enables executives to see
the financial benefits or drawbacks of new ideas before they
put them into practice. It also provides employees with understanding
on how their daily actions impact value. For example, marketing
executives may want to see what happen to the operating results
if they bundle several product items together into one product
package or if they apply different pricing structures to any
specific product item. Sales executives may want to see what
happen if the company reduce the unit price of a specific
product item to meet the competitors’ offerings. Operation
executives may want to tell what it will happen to the cost
of sales if they can increase the production yield rate of
a specific product.
