Finding Value in Numbers
In this episode, Mark Gandy interviews Issan Isani about his book *Finding Value in Numbers*, which offers a practical, math‑light toolkit for CEOs, finance directors, and board members to assess and create value in growing businesses. They discuss the importance of a personal investment framework, emphasizing mindset and process, and dive deep into Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) as a core metric, including operational vs. financial views, excess cash adjustments, and a rule‑of‑thumb cost of capital. The conversation also covers how to adapt these concepts for service‑oriented and SaaS businesses, and offers reading strategies to internalize the material.
