Challenge
A first-time PE fund lacked standardized processes to drive consistent outcomes and an organizational structure to provide career progression and support scaling.
The company needed help creating an approach to “future proof” its organizational structure, improve talent management, and refine internal processes and KPIs.
Approach
- Interviewed key stakeholders to identify key themes and pain points
- Benchmarked existing organizational structure against other first-time funds with similar AUM
- Conducted 3rd party expert interviews to evaluate best-in-class operational tools
- Facilitated workshops to capture input into future state stage gates, meeting cadence, reporting, and governance
- Developed investment framework and organizational changes to support continued rapid scaling of business
