Value Based Management

Master value creation with the Value Based Management course by 3Masters.

Why is profitability not the same as value creation?
How do you truly determine the value of a project or company?

In the Value Based Management course by 3Masters, you’ll discover how to shift from profit-driven thinking to value-driven strategy. Learn to make smarter, future-focused decisions based on financial logic, strategic insights, and a deep understanding of what really drives value.

Why are profitability and value creation of a company not the same? What are present value and cost of capital, and how are they related to value?

What you will learn:
✅ How present value, cost of capital, and cash flows interact to determine value.
✅ Why valuation is not an exact science, but a technique shaped by expectations and consistent assumptions.
✅ How to evaluate investment projects, business activities, or entire companies based on their contribution to overall value.
✅ How to apply the Value Based Management approach to drive long-term growth and sustainable success.

Who is this for?
This training is ideal for financial professionals, business controllers, strategists, and decision-makers who want to manage their organization based on real value, not just short-term profits.

Why 3Masters?
At 3Masters, you won’t get dry theory. You’ll get a hands-on, practical training led by seasoned experts who make complex concepts clear and immediately actionable. We empower you with the tools to create and measure value in the real world.

This intensive and hands-on training provides a deep dive into the principles and practical application of Value Based Management. You will learn how to evaluate and drive business decisions based on value creation rather than accounting profit. Through real-world examples and interactive exercises, you will develop a strong foundation in financial valuation techniques and strategic decision-making.

Throughout the training, you will explore the key components that influence value creation in any organization, and gain the tools to assess investment proposals, forecast cash flows, and build robust valuation models.

Key topics covered:
📌 Building blocks of value-based management
• Understand the core principles that connect strategy, finance, and value creation.

📌 Conducting a sensitivity analysis of the net present value (NPV)
• Understand how changes in assumptions impact outcomes and reduce decision-making risk.
📌 Analysis of the cost of debt, equity, and the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)
• Learn to calculate and interpret WACC to determine the right discount rate for valuation.
📌 Forecasting cash flows using the indirect method
• Gain practical skills in projecting future cash flows from financial statements.
📌 Analyzing the differences between a comprehensive cash flow statement and the cash flows used in a DCF analysis

By the end of the training, you’ll not only understand the theory behind value-based decision-making—you’ll be equipped to apply it directly in your organization.

After completing the Value Based Management training, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to make smarter, value-driven decisions that go beyond traditional financial metrics. You will have a clear and practical understanding of how value is created, measured, and maximized—whether you’re assessing investment proposals, valuing a business unit, or shaping long-term strategy.
