A pragmatic, common-sensical approach to pursuing value creation in a PE deal: ① HYPOTHESES: Based on diligence learnings. What are the potential opportunities to create value? ② VALIDATION:Initial validation of those opportunities. Analysis, customer conversations, market checks, etc. ③ PLANNING: Prioritize based on expected impact and cost. Put them into a value creation plan. ④ ATTACK AND HARVEST: Get after it. Execute, track progress, make adjustments, and iterate as needed. Other perspectives? #ValueCreation #PrivateEquity

About us
Let’s face it: it’s becoming tougher and tougher to stay ahead in the fiercely competitive private equity space. Private equity investors, who are contending with loads of capital, tons of competition, and sky-high purchase multiples, are finding it tougher than ever to outperform. And their portfolio executives, who are having to sign up for increasingly aggressive growth targets in order to live up to investors' return expectations, are also feeling the heat. These forces are making it tougher than ever for private equity firms to get and stay ahead. And in this environment, investors can’t rely on value-buying, cost-cutting, and financial engineering to deliver outsized returns more reliably. We’re living in an era—the “Value Creation Era”—of private equity in which taking a proactive, intentional approach to driving portfolio value creation is key to outperforming.

Hate to break it to the Gantt chart nerds out there, but a PE value creation plan doesn't have to be uber-complex. The practical guide to creating a value creation plan for a new investment: ① VALUE DRIVER: Which value driver are we focused on driving? Retention? Expansion? New logos? Pricing? New products? Margin expansion? ② OBJECTIVE: What specifically are we trying to achieve? Eg. "Increasing _____ from ___ to ____ by _____ date." ③ WINNING MOVES: What specifically we'll do to make that objective come true? Should be actionable. (Plenty of these in the book!) ④ INDICATORS: The indicators, metrics, key results we'll monitor and manage to. #ValueCreation #PrivateEquity
