Corporations generating far less shareholder value, at substantially higher levels of risk and cost, than they should be

    /24-7PressRelease/ - WILMINGTON, DE, February 21, 2007 - Every day, 20% to 50% of productivity is lost due to ineffective operational activities that generate productivity losses which destroy organizational value, waste costs, disengage staff, increase risk, and reduce service, quality, retention, brand, and satisfaction. These losses directly reduce the effectiveness of strategic execution and disrupt the ability of an organization to create shareholder value by fulfilling its mission, vision, and board-driven strategic plans.

This 20-50% loss of value occurs every day, at every level of organizational activity, across all sectors and industries, due to a lack of intangible intelligence - the ability to financially value how knowledge, collaboration, and leverage (intangible activities) impact actual value creation and shareholder value.

In a world-first, complementary software - the Intangible Intelligence Health Check - (www.standardsinstitute.org) has been released by the International Intangible Management Standards Institute to assist managers, executives, and directors create quantum leaps in shareholder value improvement by uncovering, and converting, the 20 to 50% of lost productivity back into productivity gains, cost reductions, and earnings improvements by working smarter, not harder - by using the new skills and tools of intangible intelligence.

"For the first time in history, it is now possible to financially value the contribution of knowledge, collaboration, and leverage to strategic effectiveness, shareholder value, financial performance, and key management metrics. The Intangible Intelligence Health Check allows executives to tap into vast 'rivers of gold' - vast untapped streams of breakthrough shareholder value that already reside within the organization. Due to its intangible nature, this value can now be uncovered through intangible intelligence. The best news is that the software is complementary, no licensing, or maintenance costs, ever - just a free download", observes Ken Standfield, Chairman of the International Intangible Management Standards Institute.
