Strategies to Enhance and Harvest Corporate Value
This course has been designed to provide participants with the practical knowledge, strategies, and tools to assist their clients—whether internal or external—on how to grow and protect a company’s value and position it for a successful exit. The Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) Workshop shifts the emphasis of previous M&A training programs from transaction-centric to shareholder value-centric, where the M&A transaction is “means to an end” rather than the “end” itself. It also explores how changing regulations are reshaping the middle-market M&A environment and provides corporate advisers, such as consulting practices and CPA firms, a systematic approach to grow revenues and differentiate their service offering.
This course is designed to complement other valuation and exit planning training offered by CTI.
After completing this course, attendees will be able to:
- Identify key strategies to grow and enhance shareholder value including how to structure, finance, and optimize corporate growth
- Compare and contrast the various tax and legal strategic issues associated with protecting shareholder value from corporate formation to post-deal situations
- Articulate the potential implications of monetizing shareholder value and identify the strategies most conducive to successful outcomes
What You Will Cover
This course is organized in three main sections: growing value, harvesting value, and protecting value.

The pursuit of corporate strategies that involve transactional growth and operations optimization come with inherent risks no matter how carefully they have been designed. Hence, it is important that organizations formulate and implement risk management strategies that will allow them to successfully navigate their path to growing shareholder value.
