A quarterly forum for private equity leaders focused on generating greater returns from human capital.

With returns increasingly harder to generate and hold periods longer, leadership quality and workforce design are now among the biggest levers on whether a deal delivers. AI is changing the game again.

That's why we've created an invitation-only Private Equity Forum: a quarterly, in-person roundtable in London bringing together Operating Partners, value creation leads, portfolio talent directors and investment professionals to compare notes on what is actually working across portfolios.

Why?

At New Street Consulting Group, we partner with PE firms and their portfolio companies every day, from pre-deal leadership assessment through to placing the key talent for exit readiness. We know how much value rests on:

• A trusted network of peers who understand driving value in the hold period
• A space to sense-check decisions on management teams before you commit to them
• Insight into emerging trends before they show up in your portfolio
• A clearer view of where human capital is adding value to the plan — and where it isn't

The Forum gives leaders the chance to step back from deal cycles and gain perspective.

What's in it for you?

Peer connection at the right level

Engage with fellow PE leaders, build trusted relationships and share what's working across portfolios, in a closed, senior-level setting.

Discussion on the issues that drive value

Each forum focuses on a rotating theme at the top of the value creation agenda, such as:

• Human capital due diligence and pre-deal leadership assessment
• AI, operating model redesign and productivity across the portfolio
• Getting the first 100 days right: management team upgrades and early calls
• Building leadership bench strength that lasts the hold period
• Culture and integration risk in buy-and-build
• Talent scarcity and hiring for scale in portfolio companies
• Exit readiness and the leadership narrative buyers pay a premium for
• Talent intelligence and data-driven decisions in value creation planning
