No industry is more disciplined in analyzing data relevant to investments than are Private Equity firms. Their financial, operational and market analyses are comprehensive and rigorous to ensure the best investment decisions for their investors and portfolio companies.

In fact, recent McKinsey research found that investors have attributed 65% of portfolio company failures to people and organizational issues. 1 Having a sound succession plan and the right team in place for ongoing success has been a top priority for global organizations for many years. This advice is equally vital for PE firms. Yet, measuring leadership fit and cultural health has been the weak link in predicting success for Private Equity investments!
