Business Transformation World Summit: Event Information

Most organizations know how to launch a transformation program, but far fewer have built the operating model to make transformation a permanent enterprise capability.

This exclusive health check challenges you to look beyond transformation activity and assess whether your organization has the accountability, governance, decision-making, structure, capability and culture required to transform continuously.

This six-question diagnostic gives you a practical way to assess where your transformation operating model is strong – and where it may be holding you back.

The health check will help you assess:

• Whether the business or transformation team owns the value
• Whether your governance creates decisions or simply more reporting
• How quickly you can prioritize, fund and adapt transformation
• Whether you have persistent transformation capabilities rather than temporary teams
• Whether transformation is embedded into culture, capability and everyday operations
• Whether your transformation portfolio is genuinely aligned to strategic outcomes

Download the operating model health check to identify your biggest operating model gaps and discover what needs to change to build a transformation capability that lasts.

Every value creation plan starts with an investment thesis. But once the deal closes, what investors underwrite and what management needs to change in the business can diverge – creating an alignment gap that can undermine execution and value creation.

In this aggregate case study, Victor Vadaneaux draws on experiences from across the VCPE speaker cohort to examine what happens when PE investors, management teams and boards are not aligned around what needs to change, why it matters, and how it will be delivered.

Rather than focusing on a single "failure," the case study explores the realities of stalled or underperforming value creation initiatives, and the lessons leaders can take forward.

Download these failure stories to discover:

• Where deal value and business value can diverge after close
• The alignment and execution issues that can derail value creation
• Lessons from real-world situations where initiatives stalled or required a change in direction
• What Deal Partners, CTrOs, Operating Partners, and management teams can do differently to close the gap

Value creation is not delivered by a spreadsheet or a VCP. It is delivered by people aligned around what needs to change – and how they will make it happen. Download the case study to explore the lessons behind stalled value creation and how stronger alignment can turn the investment thesis into business value.

Transformation is accelerating; can your organization keep up?

The PEX Report 2026/27: Global State of Business Transformation draws on 185 professionals surveyed between May and August 2026, with 61% of respondents at the board, C-suite, SVP, VP or director level. Now in its second year of matched, like-for-like data, the report provides a detailed view of how transformation priorities, investment, technology adoption, and organizational challenges are changing, as well as featuring expert perspectives and real-world examples from senior transformation leaders and practitioners.

What does the data tell us?

• 61% say AI is now the most-used methodology for business transformation
• 57% say Agentic AI is the most-planned investment, rising from 39% the previous year
• 71% say AI skills are the most-cited capability gap among transformation organizations
• 54% say Change Management has overtaken cost as the biggest transformation challenge

Together, these findings point to a fundamental shift: the challenge is no longer simply deciding whether to transform but how to build an organization capable of transforming continuously.

Download the report and explore the forces reshaping the transformation agenda, including:

• AI and Agentic AI: From experimentation and pilots to enterprise-scale investment and autonomy
• Governance: Why organizational controls are struggling to keep pace with AI adoption
• Value Realization: The shift from AI use cases toward measurable business value
• Data and Process: Why strong foundations remain critical to scaling transformation
• Change and Workforce: The growing impact of change fatigue, skills gaps and sustained adoption
• Investment Priorities: Where transformation leaders are directing resources over the next 12 months
• Success Measures: How organizations are redefining transformation impact, from efficiency to top-line growth
• Transformation at Scale: What the latest data reveals about building a permanent transformation capability

The transformation agenda is changing, but the big question is: what comes next? Download the report to explore the data shaping the next chapter of business transformation.

The transformation mandate has changed – has yours?

What are 125 Chief Transformation Officers actually prioritizing, funding, and struggling with? This benchmark report gives you the answer.

Drawing on survey responses from 125 Chief Transformation Officers, it reveals where transformation leaders are investing, where they have budget authority, what is holding transformation back – and how the role itself is evolving.

Rather than another collection of predictions about the future of transformation, this report gives you a benchmark of what your peers are doing right now.

The numbers tell a detailed story:

• 81% rank AI platforms and applications as a high priority for the next 12 months
• 71% have direct budget authority for AI – the highest of any investment category
• 62% are managing 5+ transformation initiatives simultaneously
• Yet just 34% prioritize AI governance, safety and risk
• Only 7% prioritise data architecture and platforms

The message is clear: transformation is scaling faster than many organizations are building the foundations to support it.

Featuring expert perspectives from:

• Nazia Raoof, Business Transformation Executive, Cotiviti

Every acquisition begins with a compelling investment thesis, ambitious synergy targets, and a clear value creation plan. But when those synergies fail to materialize, the investment case quickly comes under pressure, and with it, the path to EBITDA growth and exit value.

In this candid failure case study, Nick Berry, M&A Value Creation Director at Miryo, shares how an acquisition that was rapidly falling short of its investment thesis was brought back on track when, just six months after close, only 14% of the expected revenue synergies had been achieved.

Through a fundamental rethink of the integration strategy, the business ultimately recovered to deliver 100% of its original synergy targets, while generating 66% of the following year's target before the earn-out had even ended. Nick shares the practical lessons every Operating Partner, deal team, and portfolio executive can apply to prevent value destruction and accelerate post-deal performance.

Download this case study to discover:

• Why revenue synergies so often fail to materialize, even when the investment thesis looks compelling
• The leadership, governance, and integration mistakes that quietly destroy enterprise value after close
• How to build a commercial synergy engine that accelerates EBITDA growth rather than delaying it
• A proven turnaround playbook for recovering underperforming integrations before value is lost

This case study explores why, and, more importantly, what experienced value creation leaders do when an integration begins to go off track.
