Real value creation happens when strategy meets execution. Not once, but continuously. It’s the discipline that turns transformation initiatives into sustainable business success and competitive advantage.
Value creation that drives growth
We make value creation strategic, actionable, and continuous
By implementing the right transformations, technologies, and deals at the right time, we deliver measurable outcomes and sustainable competitive advantages.
What is value creation?
KPMG defines value creation as the strategic process of increasing the worth of a company, product, or service to deliver measurable benefits to stakeholders. It encompasses initiatives across M&A, operational efficiencies, technology adoption, business transformation, and other improvements that generate sustainable competitive advantages, drive long-term growth, and serve as the foundation for business success.

Insight
How to be successful in complex M&A
A relentless focus on speed to value and precise execution will help companies achieve superior outcomes.

Our purpose-built deal teams help you create value at every step, from strategy to execution, with a tech-enabled approach that features a clear M&A vision with a compelling value creation story, early leader involvement in due diligence, development of M&A friendly organizational culture, iterative learning across deals, and deep experience in digital transformation through M&A. We help you reduce value leakage while maintaining continuity across the deal lifecycle.
A transaction that changed agriculture
Challenges
CNH Industrial, a global leader in agricultural equipment, acquired Raven Industries for $2.1 billion to accelerate their autonomous technology capabilities. Harmonizing operations between a traditional equipment giant and a disruptive tech startup required strategic planning, cultural integration, and a relentless focus on value creation.
Outcomes
KPMG focused on areas that would fulfill the deal’s value promise. We helped integrate the commercial function with the product technology and blend the two company cultures while preserving Raven’s innovation identity. Within 14 months, CNH unveiled the industry’s first autonomous spreader and all-electric autonomous tractor—establishing leadership in agricultural innovation, attracting new tech talent, and creating significant market value.

Modern managed services: Going beyond ‘business as usual’
Learn how enhanced service delivery is empowering companies to deliver transformative new innovations, opportunities, and value.
Modern managed services go beyond transactional outsourcing to deliver transformative new innovations, opportunities, and value. We combine sophisticated technologies with human capital development, data insights and leading practices, and strategic vendor alliances in multi-year service subscriptions with predictable costs. This approach to creating value reduces operational costs by 15-45 percent while driving resilience, retention and trust—creating continuous improvement through strategic collaboration, transformation acceleration, and growth enablement.
Mining ROI from within
Challenges
A leading private equity firm wanted to unlock value within their own operations by accelerating their reporting cycles, improving the quality of their insights, and delivering net new value. New SEC rules on reporting for private equity firms added urgency to transform their approach.
Outcomes
KPMG implemented a cloud-based Workiva platform that cut reporting time by 50%, saved $1.2 million annually in operational costs, increased trust in reported data, and built a foundation for continuous improvement of the user experience. This value creation solution enabled direct integration between systems, creating dynamic reports in minutes versus previous multiweek cycles, while ensuring just-in-time compliance with new SEC reporting rules.

Strategies for delivering business value
Transforming businesses must prioritize value realization and align initiatives with measurable outcomes to succeed.
Successful strategic transformations prioritize value and align initiatives with measurable outcomes. Despite 76 percent of companies running multiple transformation projects, fewer than one in five deliver significant value. Our value-driven approach helps you review past programs to identify value leakage, establish clear team structure and governance, define and measure value outcomes, and maintain disciplined accountability. We are highly intentional about value at every step, starting with a clear change vision viewed through different functional lenses: business, operational, data, and technology.
Large but nimble: A pivot to value
Challenges
A $4 billion professional services firm wanted to spur growth, margins, and revenue by pivoting from general services to specialized higher-growth, higher-margins industries and disciplines. That required greater focus on a smaller subset of markets, better alignment between business strategy and growth, and a stronger shareholder mentality in management.
Outcomes
KPMG helped drive this multiyear transformation with extensive industry experience, deep data analytics, and a detailed strategic business model review to drive an 85% profit increase, $100+ million EBITDA growth in six months, valuable strategic acquisitions, and improved go-to-market strategies. The share price rose 54% in one year, significantly outperforming both the market and industry peers.
