Modern Private Equity has evolved beyond financial engineering as the primary lever for creating value. And with fierce competition and all-time high dry powder in the private market, deal multiples are as high as ever. Today, Private Equity firms must recalibrate their approach towards Value Creation within funds to prioritize EBITDA growth through strategic initiatives and operational improvement tailored to each portfolio company’s needs.

Strategic Ops Partners crafts our service offerings specifically to middle market Private Equity through an Operations Value Creation lens. Our proprietary approach helps clients secure quick wins to generate cash while developing a realistic synergy and cost savings roadmap based on what is feasible within the management team’s capacity and the investor’s time horizon. 

Regardless of where you are at in the deal lifecycle, we can help. We can support you to identify value creation levers during diligence, refine and prioritize opportunities during pre-close planning, and execute your value creation options during the first 100 days and beyond.

Operational Due Diligence (pre-deal). This offering is all about gaining insights about the target, identifying synergies and operational improvements, and constructing the integration plan for the buyer. We support assessment of the target company through operational due diligence (ODD) to define synergies and performance improvement opportunities. We summarize our key findings and recommendations, prioritize the value creation levers, and build an implementation roadmap to outline the resources and timelines to achieve maximize returns quickly while balancing feasibility and level of effort with the Buyer. 

Value Creation (post-deal). This is where the rubber meets the road. We begin executing our 100 Day Plan to capture the value creation opportunities outlined in the initial phase. This includes a one-two punch of capturing quick wins and planning long-term strategic initiatives. We set up a Transformation Management Office (TMO) to guide the value creation effort. We reinvent the operating model and introduce data analytics and metrics to provide accountability. We also provide interim leadership and coaching to teams to accelerate results and build upon sustainable skillsets in-house.
