Wednesday, Jan 27: Value Creation for Private Equity Day 2

10:00 AM WHEN 4 YEARS BECOMES 7: RESETTING VALUE CREATION FOR EXTENDED HOLDING PERIODS


As many companies entering into long hold period, it is important to discuss how to re-activate value creation plan and more importantly what good looks like in terms of margin stability, growth optionality and exit readiness. Join leaders to hear the most relevant insights from those who are actively going through this at the moment: 
• How funds are revising value creation plans when exits are delayed
• How are management teams resetting equity value expectations after prolonged hold periods without demotivating teams
• How to balance reinvestment for growth against capital discipline when exit timing remains uncertain
• How to effectively leverage the other operational levers at a VCP reset
• Shifting from "wait for multiple expansion" to "double down on revenue and margin"

3:30 PM THE BIG DEBATE IN PE VALUE CREATION


Does private equity create more value by empowering management autonomy or by enforcing operational mandate? Do PE timelines inherently conflict with long-term company health? Can management team activate value creation without operating partners?
In this brand-new big debate format, we will openly debate some of these most contentious topics between PE and Portco management teams to get further clarity on the dynamics for value creation. 

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Dominic.
