In the Strategic Mentoring Program the principles of The Group work personally with business leaders to overcome the challenges to growth.

While many issues facing business leaders are new to the individual, they are certainly not new to business. These same challenges have been faced by leaders in every industry. Many have overcome these complexities to succeed; some have failed. The defining factor in a leader’s ability to grow a company is the ability to overcome the limitations impeding progress through implementation of successful strategies applied to the unique business condition at hand.

The Strategic Mentoring Program provides business leaders exclusive time with the partners of The Group implementing both professional and personal growth strategies. Participants meet twice monthly in a confidential, one-on-one setting focused solely on growing their business. We ask frank questions, probing business leaders to reveal the real issues that may result in growth limitations. We supply insight into successful business strategies relevant to each participant and work with leaders to apply those strategies to their unique situation. The program offers participants the opportunity to develop a relationship with an experienced growth strategist who can help them avoid the pitfalls others have identified and overcome their own limitations to their company’s growth.

The Group’s Strategic Mentoring Program includes:

• The assignment of a mentor from among the Groups principles that most closely meets your business and personal background
• Four hours of one-on-one time with your mentor each month
• Two hours of telephone conferences with your mentor each month
• Email correspondence

The Strategic Mentoring Program produces dynamic results for leaders focused on growing their business.

Total Shareholder Value is a valuation strategy based on fundamentals that evaluate a variety of company assets.

Determining the value of a company can be challenging. For publicly traded companies, using market capitalization to determine value is misleading and doesn’t provide the complete picture of a company. When leaders of these companies become fixated on stock price a paradigm is created whereby decisions are made based largely on the response of Wall Street. This frequently leads to shortsighted thinking that undermines value over time.

The fundamental purpose of business is to create value. The Group’ Total Shareholder Value identifies the true source of value creation in a company. While stock price is a factor in this equation, it is leveraged against standard industry multiples and company intangibles. Once these have been defined and metrics assigned, a total value appears.

Total Shareholder Value helps business leaders align their organizations around the principles that create value. Decisions can be made on the basis of analysis of potential value creation. Activities that do not add value to the company can be eliminated. Employees at all levels can understand how their activities link to the creation of short and long-term value creation. The value of the company can increase despite market trends empowering leaders to build companies that withstand the test of time.
