Private equity firms face plenty of 60 Minute Profit Plan challenges but the one challenge that they don't think about is credibility in the digital domain and a good Digital Transformation will take care of that. Before you acquire a company you may have to convince the owner or owners that you are the right fit for them.
It's their business - they want to be sure you're going to take them further than they can get on their own, and if they give up their majority - the confidence their share is going to be worth far more when you are done. Private Equity needs a Digital Transformation.
