The forces reshaping enterprise value—artificial intelligence, intangible assets, geopolitical fragmentation, and accelerating shifts in capital, talent, and customer behavior—are already changing how the world's most sophisticated investors evaluate companies. As advanced analytics, alternative data, and emerging technologies give investors an increasingly continuous and granular view of corporate performance, the gap between what companies report and what markets can infer is narrowing.
In this session, Breakwater Strategy will examine how leading global investors are moving beyond current valuation frameworks to evaluate the quality, adaptability, and durability of a company's value-creation system. Directors will gain insight into how markets are beginning to price a company's ability to reinvent its business model, redeploy capital, grow emerging advantages, and remain valuable across multiple potential futures.
This program is complimentary to NACD members and nonmembers.
