We recently surveyed operating partners and investment partners regarding the challenges facing their portfolio companies and how these challenges are impacting the size, shape and structure of their Value Creation Teams in 2024. We presented the findings, last month, at the keynote session of PEI Operating Partners Forum Europe, for which Blue Ridge Partners is the long-standing Knowledge Partner. Here are some of the key takeaways from the research and discussion: KEY OPERATIONAL HURDLES: Accelerating organic revenue growth emerged as the top operating challenge over the coming 12 months. Other critical areas include optimizing pricing strategies, enhancing financial efficiency, and upgrading talent within the organization. STRATEGIC TEAM INTEGRATION: There is a strong consensus on the necessity for value creation teams to be more structurally integrated with deal teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and enhanced overall performance. CONTRASTING PARTNER PRIORITIES: There are marked differences of perspective between investment and operating partners. Investment partners place significantly more emphasis on supply chains, cash flow management, and cost control. They also stress the importance of value creation teams having stronger specialist skills in areas such as commercial effectiveness.

Adebayo Ogunlesi's journey underscores the pivotal role of project collaboration in achieving monumental success. From legal prominence to spearheading transformative projects, Ogunlesi's story is a testament to the efficacy of collaborative endeavors.

Through GIP, Ogunlesi orchestrated strategic collaborations, such as the acquisition of Gatwick Airport. This project showcased the power of bringing diverse talents together to navigate complex ventures successfully. Ogunlesi's emphasis on project collaboration as a cornerstone of achievement is a valuable lesson for professionals and entrepreneurs alike. In a world where challenges are multifaceted, the ability to unite minds, skills, and visions becomes a catalyst for innovation and enduring success. Adebayo Ogunlesi's legacy inspires us to view collaboration not just as a strategy but as the very essence of progress in project undertakings.
