The Weak Link in Predicting Private Equity Investment Success
Talent decision analytics pay off across every business metric!
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.
On the other hand, evaluation of leadership, organization and culture is subjective at best. While many case studies demonstrate that the health of an organization’s culture and quality of leadership are top predictors of success, measuring those critical factors has been more an art than a science. 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!

DisneyThe Sorcerer’s Apprentice – Talent Management Matters!
Remember the Sorcerer’s Apprentice in the award-winning 1940 Disney film Fantasia that has captivated audiences ever since? Mickey Mouse played the role of the apprentice whose task was to keep a water reservoir filled by carrying buckets of water from a fountain up an arduous stairway. While watching the Sorcerer perform his magic, Mickey got the brilliant idea of creating his own sorcery. When the Sorcerer left for a rest, Mickey donned the Sorcerer’s hat and cast a spell over a broom that sprouted arms and at Mickey’s instruction began to carry water to the reservoir. The scheme was working so well that Mickey took a nap while the broom continued its labor.

Nervous about Filling Your Talent Pipeline?
Are you getting nervous about how to fill your talent pipeline during the next few years? If you said no, you may want to consider the cold hard facts of what we are facing. According to the Pew Research Center, 10,000 baby boomers will reach retirement age every day from now through 2030. In addition, staggering statistics abound; 50% of U.S. government workers are eligible to retire and 55% of registered nurses can be expected to retire between now and 2020.
While unemployment remains high, finding skilled workers to fill open positions is among the top challenges in virtually every organization. As the economy improves, top talent will have more choices and attrition will accelerate. In addition, “X” and “Y” generation leaders will require us to evaluate our approach to career progression/options, work-life balance and global factors. This, along with strategic uncertainty, the impact of social media and data overload, and the increasing velocity of business, indicates mounting people challenges ahead for businesses large and small.
