Private equity firms are snapping up brand-name companies and assembling portfolios that make them immense global conglomerates. They're often able to maximise investor value far more successfully than traditional public companies.

How do PE firms become such powerhouses? Learn how in Lessons from Private Equity Any Company Can Use. Bain chairman Orit Gadiesh and partner Hugh MacArthur utilise the concise, actionable format of a memo to lay out the five disciplines that PE firms use to attain their edge:

  • Invest with a thesis using a specific, appropriate 3-5-year goal
  • Create a blueprint for changeβ€”a road map for initiatives that will generate the most value for your company within that time frame
  • Measure only what mattersβ€”such as cash, key market intelligence, and critical operating data
  • Hire, motivate, and retain hungry managersβ€”people who think like owners
  • Make equity sweatβ€”by making cash scarce, and forcing managers to redeploy underperforming capital in productive directions

This is the PE formula for unleashing a company's true potential.
