Why is it Important?

The current private equity environment demands operational excellence and managerial precision like never before

1

Operational improvements are now key to improving returns

PE firms that go deeper and broader with management and operational improvements in their portfolio are likely to achieve superior overall returns – and faster.

2

Greater debt servicing pressures intensify the need to focus on managerial discipline

Changes in the interest burden are super-charging the need for management to be precise about priorities, risks, and activities that create cash and pay down debt without choking growth or profitability.

3

New Portfolio Company Leaders are often unprepared for fast-growth challenges

Greater pressure increases chances of failure in leaders who are unadapted to pressurized PE environments and are not used to managing sustainable growth and change at speed.

4

Qualified talent crisis increases the risks of distressed portfolio companies

Leadership remains the number one differentiator going into a tougher PE environment, and many portfolio companies may find their top teams need help to successfully navigate tougher environments.
