Capital markets are increasingly expensive and Limited Partners are raising their expectations, contributing to uncertain valuation outlooks in global financial markets. In short, tension has grown between investor price objectives and the delivery of satisfactory returns. To find success, industry leaders are turning their focus towards operational excellence as a critical lever in reaching desired targets.
“How do we assess true Operational Excellence? We have elements of success across our portfolio, but not a formal and cohesive program. How would we build one and ultimately have it pay for itself across our network?”
“At times we need help ‘flipping’ an investment. We need more solidified exit plans that ensure wins for both us and our invested organization. What are the best methodologies for roadmapping such an endeavor from the early stages of investment to ensure better preparedness?”
“Too many of our invested organizations feel like bets – which is at least partially due to poor line of sight. We need to learn how to better partner with our portfolio of investments to ensure they are growing and improving from the right places and at the appropriate pace to ensure success for everyone involved.”
“We’ve had trouble establishing the proper balance of accountability between ourselves and our portfolio organizations. Ultimately, our child organization should be responsible for growth, but we don’t have a standardized methodology in place when targets miss and action must be taken. What is the best way to approach this issue?”
