Unlocking Private Equity Value with Effective Change Management

Unlocking Private Equity Value with Effective Change Management

Private equity firms are built on one core promise: value creation. Yet, achieving that value isn’t always as straightforward as it seems. A McKinsey study shows that 70% of large-scale transformation efforts fail to meet their objectives. Why? Often, the reason is poorly managed change initiatives.

In private equity-backed businesses, the stakes are even higher. These firms are expected to generate rapid growth, streamline operations, and ultimately increase the enterprise value in a short time frame. Effective change management, therefore, becomes the linchpin of any successful value creation strategy.

At How2-Change, we’ve seen firsthand how many PE-backed businesses underestimate the importance of structured change management. While most focus on the financials, few give enough attention to the human and operational sides of change, which are critical for long-term success. In our experience, change management is not just about implementing a new process or system; it’s about aligning leadership, setting clear goals, and empowering teams to execute on those goals.

We approach change management with a results-focused mindset. Our team of experts works hand-in-hand with portfolio businesses to drive value creation initiatives. We don’t just develop strategies—we ensure that they are implemented in a way that guarantees success.

According to Bain & Company, businesses that excel at managing change achieve 30% higher returns on their investments. With How2-Change by your side, your firm can unlock the full potential of your portfolio companies, ensuring that you not only meet but exceed your value creation goals.

If you’re struggling with the complexities of driving change in your portfolio, let’s discuss how our change management expertise can make a measurable difference. We don’t just promise results—we deliver them.
