Creating and protecting value

The DLMA model (pronounced ‘dilemma’) is at the centre of the Upboard Global model.

Today's unprecedented business challenges—from demographic shifts to technological disruption—demand governance models that simultaneously create and protect value. The DLMA framework provides a practical lens through which boards and executives can assess their orientation and adjust accordingly.

Below is a representation of the DLMA model. DLMA is a way in which board and individual director predisposition to value creation and value protection can be identified.

(I acknowledge Peter Tunjic www.ondirectorship.com for his thought leadership on the dynamics between boards and executives,and the dynamic between creating and protecting value.)

The most successful organizations recognize that governance excellence isn't about choosing between risk and opportunity—it's about mastering both. Boards can construct governance approaches that harness the full range of perspectives necessary for sustainable success.
