Let's Talk About Your Human Capital Strategy
This is a new era for private equity: Deal opportunities are fewer and less desirable. Roll-up deals have lengthened hold times. Debt capital is increasingly expensive. Firms everywhere are finding they can no longer rely on their go-to tactics. Instead, many savvy human capital managers are looking to data-driven talent assessments to predict leadership performance during due diligence, develop executives, craft rigorous succession plans, and more. What they’ve discovered is that scientifically valid, reliable personality tests are the key to achieving the accelerated value creation they’ve always sought and the sustainable value creation that’s now critical to survival.

Accelerate Value Creation
Portcos generate value fastest when their leadership teams are cohesive. This is why the most effective private equity firms use personality data to onboard their new executive teams. With the clarity provided by personality tests, leadership teams can advance quickly past forming, storming, and norming to achieve cohesion and reach peak performance without delay.
Retain High Potentials
C-suite turnover disrupts business and lengthens hold times, especially when exits are unexpected. Post-acquisition turnover below the C-suite is a problem too. Strategic human capital managers know a single solution addresses both. They take an assessment-driven approach to high-potential development, retaining top talent and building a succession bench in tandem.

Develop and Coach Executives
Portco leaders are under a lot of pressure, especially in the aftermath of roll-ups and carveouts. Executive development and coaching initiatives can help leaders adapt to the pace and unique demands of the new business environment, collaborate with PE leaders, build relationships with new executive peers, drive for results, inspire the employee base, and lead transformation.
