The Game of Value Creation takes you inside the world of active investors, who acquire companies that offer substantial opportunities for value creation and turn them into success stories using a proven, calculated, and tactical approach, so that you too can benefit from the strategies that work for the big fish in your own business.
Karl Yaacoub, a former investment banker and private equity investor, reveals how to view a business as a series of interconnected parts while applying the same principles as world-leading institutions to help your organization achieve success.

it comes to our endeavors, we are not just in it for the experience; we also want to succeed and reap the rewards. For all that we have built and contributed, we hope to be recognized and appreciated.
This book will help you realize that there is more to your business journey, even if you’re well on your way to being totally hands-off. Your legacy extends far beyond what you have done. In addition, you will have a framework that you can use to manifest “what could have been”.
There will be an upbeat tone when talking about your business, what it stands for, and what it represents. Business progress will become clearer not only to you, but to those you matter to in your sphere, the stakeholders, and the decision-makers.
Instead of obsessing over maintaining control and micromanagement, you are going to obsess over creating value, improving your customers’ buying journey, innovating, unlocking more cash to fund growth projects, and developing other leaders.
You will be able to better understand how the market changes, how your organization should adapt, and how your target customers think. Your trust in growth will grow, and you will ensure those in
your sphere of influence are also on the same journey, because they have chosen to be.
