  10. Calculating NPV • Benefit drivers • Cost of the project • Ongoing costs • WACC • DCF = NPV

  11. What is strategic value? • Project must be more than “Strategic” • Must add strategic value • Results in competitive advantage • Competitive advantage = +ve NPV • Competitive advantage = strategic value

  12. How is strategic value achieved? • Build on existing strengths • Reduce weaknesses • Create new businesses • Create new options/opportunities • Reduce risk

  13. Negative NPV project • Gut feel says yes • Appears to have competitive advantage • Time horizon is long • Possibilities of follow-on investments • Need to value options

  14. Option pricing and NPV • Value option of follow-on investment • Estimate volatility of forecasts • Estimate time to investment decision • Plug into Black-Scholes formula • Add option value to NPV value • Positive number means project has value

  15. The danger of payback • Short term investment horizons • The need for EPS growth now • Forced by investment analysts time horizons • Investment horizons need to change • Focus on 10 - 15 years rather than 1 - 3. • Remove going concern assumption!

  16. Conclusion • Project Manager must track benefit drivers of objectives • Understand where the value comes from • Understand how to put a figure on this value • Utilise option pricing to value management
