Uniquely linking strategy and execution to enterprise value.

The patent-pending CovQ® platform empowers companies to identify their most critical value drivers, design strategic initiatives, and manage execution to completion, including tracking, reporting, and cascading action items across the organization.

Now, with the CovQ ROI Module, the loop between strategy and value creation becomes fully measurable.

  • Strategic ROI: Companies can calculate the return on investment for each strategic initiative as well as the aggregate ROI across all initiatives.
  • Enterprise Value Impact: Going beyond traditional ROI, the module quantifies the incremental enterprise value created, factoring both revenue and earnings multiples.
  • Compounding Effect: This is not a one-off calculation. Organizations can continuously identify upside potentials, deploy initiatives, measure ROI and value impact, and repeat the process. The result is compounding value creation and measurable increases in enterprise value / market capitalization.

Crucially, CovQ (Compound Value Creator Quotient) can serve as the value creation intelligence layer above ERP systems, or it can simply be plugged in as the cohesive strategy management platform. In either case, it ensures that strategy and execution directly translate into measurable enterprise value uplift.

CovQ sets the standard for connecting strategy and execution with enterprise value. Value creation management platforms are a new category, according to Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, and CovQ is defining this category. CovQ has been implemented at Global Fortune 500, S&P 500, growth companies, and PE firms.
