Key Initiatives Utilized by PE Firms

We know that operational improvements drive the bulk of value creation for PE investors, but it's important to understand how this is accomplished. Private Equity firms have a variety of tools at their disposal. The chart above displays some of the most frequently utilized. Other potential levers include:

• Geographic Expansion

• Pricing Strategy / Optimization

• Operation, Production and Manufacturing Efficiencies

• Logistics

• Delayering

Many of these initiatives will be included in the "100 Day Plan". ECA has worked with a number of PE clients to help drive value across similar initiatives.
