PRIVATE EQUITY IN PRACTICE
Turn the Investment Thesis into Portfolio Value
Give the value-creation plan an owner and a baseline.
Translate diligence findings into a focused programme of operational and strategic work. Connect the first 100 days, portfolio reviews and exit preparation through evidence of what has changed.
YOUR LEARNING OUTCOMES
What you will be able to do.
PE operating partners, deal professionals and portfolio-company executives accountable for value creation.
- Examine growth, operations, overheads, cash and capability levers; distinguish evidence-backed opportunities from assumptions.
- Agree a limited set of actions with management, establish baselines and allocate owners, resources and dependencies.
- Separate realised change from forecast benefits, review variance and decide when an initiative needs a different approach.
- Maintain evidence of performance, remaining opportunities and capability; review exit options without assuming a guaranteed valuation uplift.

IN PRACTICE
A situation you could face.
The investment case assumes better pricing, improved working capital and a new sales model. Management is already stretched and the initiatives compete for the same people. Build a plan that can actually be delivered and measured.
