• The shape of value is changing and an increasing proportion of a company’s value lies in its intangible assets but traditional financial reporting metrics were not designed to measure them.

• The trust gap between business, the establishment and society is widening.

• There is pressure in the investment chain to focus on the short-term despite the desire to create value in the long-term.

• The proliferation of data is providing new ways of measuring value but also means organisations are increasingly losing control over the conclusions made about their business.
