Are you leaving money on the table? 

Did you know that company owners typically sell for 57% less than their potential value?

A key reason is because the traditional tools for evaluating an organization’s value lack objective data.

“This perspective is digestible and has numerical values. Working with 40 Strategy, we looked at the analysis and prioritized what we’re doing. We developed the best action plan.”

– Founder/CEO, Professional Services

SWOT often lacks objective data to demonstrate a strong ROI

(Yet, still using it 60+ years later)

  • Internally developed

  • Analysis can be skewed…(ex.: people are our greatest strength)

  • What do you do with that?

  • Weaknesses will often highlight risks – but there is no measurement of their impact

  • Built for Fortune 500 companies

  • Generating this information is very expensive

  • Small to mid-sized business evaluated but ultimately returned to the SWOT
