A New World of Intangible and Intellectual Assets
To create a blueprint for success, consultants used to ask for the balance sheet first. Not any more. Today, the focus is on the intangibles. Why? Because today intangible, intellectual assets account for more of the value of a company.

In a recent study of 3500 businesses listed on the NYSE conducted by New York University, a startling result was revealed. 72% of the value of a company, as determined by the company’s market cap, is related to off-balance sheet assets and that proportion has grown dramatically in the last 30 years.
In 1978, there was a 98% correlation between book value and market cap. In 2005 there was only a 28% correlation in book value to market cap. It is no wonder that today the emphasis is on the 72% of value that is hidden, transparent and off the balance sheet.
So, in today’s world, it’s critical that you perform a business and talent skills assessment to boost the value of your company.
