Managing for value
At its core, general management is about creating value. With value creation and management in mind, new general managers need to focus on the long-term, organisation-wide impact of any act or decision – as opposed to measuring success with narrowly defined, short-term performance indicators. It is this value creation and management that the Transition to General Management programme is centred on. This involves:
- Value proposition
- Value delivery
- Value capture
