Building sustainable growth

In capital-intensive industries, companies must balance investment decisions over long time horizons. Investments in R&D, production capacity, distribution, sales capacity etc., must all be planned in harmony to deliver growth and create long-term value. Long investment time frames and project interdependencies in capital industries place exceptional demands on strategic planning.
For example:

The risk/ reward assessment of individual projects is uncertain
Interdependencies between project opportunities can be critical
Under-investment or over-investment in critical capacity areas can mask the growth potential of the business as a whole
Conventional project measures such as NPV must be supplemented with other measures that recognise strategic value
Balanced investment requires a holistic perspective of the business, shared across the top management team

Value logistics is an approach to strategic planning that uses simulation to test the risk/reward implications of investment strategies over time, consistent with the full investment life cycle.
