The authors extend the banking “stress test” concept to a company’s Capital Agenda — how executives manage capital, execute transactions and apply corporate finance tools to strategic and operational decisions. Having a static Capital Agenda, however appropriate for your current market position, is not enough in today's uncertain world. Long-term success comes from building resilience into each element \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003ein the way those elements interact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book uses a broader definition of business stress that includes traditional macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, as well as technological disruption, hostile takeovers and activist shareholders. Companies that make poor strategic decisions or underperform operationally will likely find themselves facing great stress. And that stress is symmetric; threats come from downside risks \u003ci\u003eand \u003c\/i\u003efrom missed opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe chapters address the how and why of essential issues such as:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFormulating corporate strategy in a digital world\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePre-empting activist shareholders\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRestoring distressed companies to operational and financial health\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnsuring effective collaboration among strategy, finance and operations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGetting the most out of your advisors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProactively managing intrinsic value\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRigorously allocating capital across the enterprise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcquiring and divesting for optimum value\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSyncing financing decisions with business strategy and capital market conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncorporating tax planning throughout the Capital Agenda\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLiberating excess cash with leading working capital management practices\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAligning strategic goals and metrics to reach your company’s full potential\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Companies that develop strategy and set operational priorities with a balanced Capital Agenda are best positioned to control their own destiny. \u003ci\u003eThe Stress Test Every Business Needs \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a roadmap to future-proof your business today for stronger performance tomorrow. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJEFFREY R.
