The growing imperative for operational excellence and portfolio value creation require more profound industry understanding and strategic prowess. As these challenges intensify, the need for private equity support becomes not just beneficial, but indispensable. 

Following a period of high valuations and low interest, many of the portfolio investments made over the past 2 years were overvalued causing enormous pressure to actively drive operational improvements to achieve desired returns.

"Fortunately, these major objectives can be achieved faster with an experienced private equity consulting firm as an invaluable partner that bridges vision with execution."

Achieving operational excellence and streamlining business processes is often a primary challenge, especially if the acquired company was underperforming.

Beyond the initial post acquisition challenges, there are often longer-term cultural, operational, and technological issues to resolve.  This can be intricate and complicated in understanding the best and most efficient approach.

Keeping pace with technological advancements and implementing the right digital strategies can be daunting for traditional businesses. 

Missing out on these opportunities can leave you far behind your competition.

Retaining, identifying and developing talent, as well as managing organizational changes and the relative effects, can pose significant challenges. 

The culture of a portfolio company has been established over the years and can be at odds with the culture or approach of the PE firm leading to resistance or friction. Changing the corporate culture, especially in older or more traditional companies can be a long and challenging process which impedes the ability to transform the operation to meet strategic milestones.  

Challenges in the customer journey require expert customer data analytics and interventions in the value chain to not only maintain existing clients but improve satisfaction levels.

There is a disconnect between the PE firm’s objectives and the portfolio company’s long-term vision and operational practices.

PE firms primarily aim for a substantial ROI. They may push for aggressive growth, cost reductions, or other strategies to bolster short-term value, whereas the portfolio company might have historically prioritized other factors like market share, innovation, or community relations.

Addressing these challenges requires a combination of strategic planning, process optimization, technology implementation, talent management and communication skills. Our Private Equity Consulting Services takes this approach to effectively solve your challenges ensuring your investment is better positioned to create portfolio value through operational excellence

When asked to define capacity for a PE portfolio company, we look at “capacity” through various lenses. The ultimate objective is to understand the current capabilities and how these can be maximized or expanded to generate more value.

Our private equity consultants understand that capacity is found through an evaluation of multiple areas of the business from operations to human resources, finance, technology, supply chain and regulation/compliance limitations.   These areas must be considered as they contribute to the value chain and ultimately must have the ability to support increased capacity.

We employ a mix of quantitative, qualitative, benchmarking data and broad industry experience to obtain a holistic view of your portfolio company’s capacity and the opportunities it has to achieve it.  Once you have the right set of defined solutions and business cases to support, we can work together with your portfolio firm resources to ensure implementation and sustainability of these improvements. 

Before you buy, its essential that you understand beyond the financial audit, the operational pros and cons of your target acquisition.  Our pre acquisition experience provides us with the foresight and perspective to conduct a comprehensive operational assessment to define the current state of operations, the ‘watch outs’ and the opportunities for superior performance.  Having acquired vast industry knowledge across most sectors, we can rapidly assess the gaps from where your target is to where it should be.  The outcome of this study provides you with solid information to assess and determine whether your target can improve performance, quality, safety, or any other critical metric you wish to achieve.

Speed is the new currency.  If you are in pursuit of transformative outcomes and short-term value maximization, private equity support isn’t just an option; it’s a necessity. Our combination of executing transformational change across a broad set of industries, added to the right blend of skill sets and analytical prowess, we will unlock hidden opportunities and prioritize the right solutions and roadmap to achieve your desired targets.
