Beyond the Balance Sheet:
Valuing and Managing Intangible Assets
Do you get the feeling that traditional financial accounting
measures are getting further and further from the reality of what happens in
the firm? Market values compared to book values have been growing wildly out
of synch since the mid 1980’s. On the balance sheet, there has been a
continuous shift from more traditional, tangible assets to intangible
assets.
This evolution will continue and
accelerate. It's because
companies are becoming ever-more
knowledge-based. In this knowledge-based, value-driven economy,
it’s not so much what you have, but what you can
do. So how do you adjust your
view of performance and leadership behaviors in this new world of intangible
assets? How, specifically, to you identify and apply value-based metrics
and measures in the new knowledge economy?
The most important aspect of
the knowledge-based firm is not technology, but people and ideas.
Often erroneously viewed as a cost, in the world of intangible assets, human
capital is a substantial value creator for all stakeholders.
Real value springs from
pulling together strategy, people, ideas, processes and technology to move
in concert toward the vision. This means that effective business leaders
must master finding, measuring, managing and directing intellectual capital
for performance and growth.
The management of intangibles, or
Intellectual Capital Assets (ICAs) – defined as "Knowledge Convertible to
Profit,” is an aggressive, global effort that is yielding surprising results
and valuable insights. We want to bring the Rocky Mountain economic zone to the forefront of expertise
and leadership in this new era.
The Rocky Mountain KM Cluster is bringing thought leaders and
expert practitioners from Colorado and around the world to share their
insights. You will benefit by gaining insight and relationships into the world of business “beyond the balance
sheet”.
The ability to relate
intangible performance to customer, employee, investor and stakeholder value will be discussed in detail. This
will include Next Practices™
techniques, metrics, methods and models.
Please
register and join our distinguished panel and colleagues for this
community event
on January 28th at the law offices of Holland & Hart in downtown
Denver.
Participation is limited to improve the quality of conversation and
the sharing of knowledge.
