The current private equity environment demands operational excellence and managerial precision like never before
PE firms that go deeper and broader with management and operational improvements in their portfolio are likely to achieve superior overall returns – and faster.
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.
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.
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.
