Digital Value Creation for Portfolio Companies

Private Equity Funds can unlock substantial value creation with the digital transformation of their portfolio companies. The briefing, prepared together with my colleague Giovanni Calia, shows how we support digital value creation in three areas:

i) eCommerce - Even laggard industries see (B2B) eCommerce gain traction 

ii) Process Automation - There is on average 20-40% attainable efficiency potential 

iii) New Products & Services: Especially, value-added digital services represent a major growth driver

Most portfolio companies lack internal capabilities to identify and address this potential. goetzpartners applies sound diagnostics including our digital maturity survey, internal belief audits, and external market sounding to create full transparency on the digital value creation potential of portfolio companies. In an expedite second project phase the north star strategy and a roadmap with prioritized quick wins is developed jointly with the management of the companies. The subsequent implementation of initiatives is supported by applying agile methods, leading technology partners, effective tracking with a P&L link, and a hands-on enabling approach.

goetzpartners is a trusted partner of private equity clients with a strong track record of more than 450 projects. For our digital value creation work, we leverage the experience from various digital transformation and performance improvement programs with hundreds of implemented digitalization initiatives. We bring to the table a unique network of highly regarded digitalization experts and technology partners to assure that every recommendation and planned action is set up for success. 

As always, feel free to let me know if you would like to discuss how this applies to your situation.
