What do successful entrepreneurs do better than others?

10:30 - 11:15 Forum 3 Back to event schedule

Over the past 10 years, the business values of Microsoft partners have seen a significant increase. But what's driving this growth? Is it the interest rate landscape, the escalating importance of IT, the vendor's strength, or the competitive M&A environment? Or could it be that we're all simply exceptional managers? This presentation begins with a concise introduction to corporate values. Then, drawing from a comprehensive scientific study, it delves into the measures and strategies that truly build value. We'll assess the growth of more than 2,500 companies in relation to each other, identifying the key drivers of corporate value that we, as managers, can leverage. Along the way, we'll discern which catalysts for change are most effective in creating value and discuss strategies for positioning our companies optimally for the future.
