We have identified a series of integrated organisational capabilities - that we describe as Governance of Value Creation - that increase confidence in an organisation’s investment in its own future outcomes.
These capabilities allow boards to ASSURE their response to the core FUTURE FIDUCIARY question “Are we optimally invested in our own future?”… and communicate that reliably to investors, regulators and stakeholders.
Governance of Value Creation is an enhanced integrated thinking framework that streamlines organisational decision-making to optimise outcomes across an organisation’s selection of purposeful financial and non-financial outcomes.
It guides organisations and leaders on how to optimise their outcomes - across different forms of financial and strategic success - as well as across sustainability issues, UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Integrated Reporting’s 6 capitals, Governments’ social outcome measures, cybersecurity, preparedness, resilience and other measures.
This enhanced (financial and non-financial) governance adds a quality dimension to enable leaders and long term investors to engage with sustained high-performance value-creation inside companies and across capital markets - and across government and community sectors. It enables better ‘Integrated Long Term Thinking’ decisions throughout organisations, and across economic networks.
For companies (and government organisations), this enables leaders to optimise their investments in future outcomes - across multiple timelines - within increasingly complex and uncertain contexts. Preliminary research demonstrates a link between uptake of these practices and sustained out-performance - with the leading Australian practitioner in our research 800% ahead of the ASX200 index sustained over 10 years.
For investors it provides a costing of future-risk through a mechanism of assessing the level of certainty associated with an organisation's future prospects. It is a knowledge economy, intangible value and social outcome equivalent to the JORC/SAMREC/SME codes used to identify the certainty of asset prospects in the global resources sectors.
For markets and regulators, it enables ‘level of certainty’ audit/assurance over the sufficient application of the broad range of emergent controls that underpin sustainable, resilient, ethical, and community engaged future outcomes.
For executive government, it enables enhanced stewardship - direction and oversight of economic and social outcome objectives from direct government service provision and from industry and community network activity. It lifts systemic capacity for achievement of higher order public expectations.
This breakthrough approach has significant implications for national Economic Development strategies with its demonstrated potential to stimulate material increases in corporate investment.
