Overview
“Hampshire’s book is aimed at the lay reader and its pages are peppered with practical advice and illustrative case studies” – Irish Times
Business leaders are often too busy to familiarise themselves with the benefits and risks of technical undertakings such as new IT plans or changing digital platforms. Yet, if managed effectively, such initiatives can result in huge returns. Creating Value Through Technology provides CEOs, business owners and directors with a clear and accessible guide to the most prominent and profitable technologies that are available, allowing them to confidently implement and sustain new tech strategies.
Different elements of the value chain can be supported and enhanced by different technologies – so it’s important to understand how investments in tech can drive revenue growth, profitability and the valuation of a business. In this informative yet approachable book, Andrew Hampshire draws upon years of experience and an array of case studies to assess the potentiality and feasibility of different technologies in creating value based on a business’s overall strategy.
Andrew’s book is centred around the basic levers of shareholder value creation: revenue growth, earnings growth and cash generation alongside the multiples used to value businesses. The book applies this framework to existing and burgeoning technologies, exploring where they can be best implemented and sustained to encourage growth. With Creating Value Through Technology, business leaders will discover a newfound confidence in incorporating technological strategies that will revolutionise their business for the digital age.
A practical guide to help leaders understand the roles that different technologies play in creating and sustaining shareholder value in their businesses.
Most related books focus on particular technologies and exploring them in more mechanical detail, whereas this book focuses on choosing or making the technology relevant to the ultimate goals of the CEO and business leaders.
The framework within the book is unique and has proven to be successful through the author’s application of it for his own work in 30-40 real-life cases, details of which will be included in the book.
As part of his role at Gresham House, Andy regularly speaks to members of the press who are interested in what they are doing. They were recently featured in 10+ publications for the launch of their new technology product which is in line with the message of Andy’s book.
Andy is a regular speaker at events for the Institute for Turnaround (which recently signed a partnership deal with their Asian equivalent) and has his first talk for them in March at which he’d begin promoting the book; British Venture Capital Association, for which Andy would look to run a series of dinners or workshops; as well as various private equity firms for whom Andy has also previously run talks and events.
Accessible to all business leaders, whatever their level of expertise
Hampshire’s book is aimed at the lay reader and its pages are peppered with practical advice and illustrative case studies.
