Dr. Matt Brubaker Publishes New Human Capital Strategy Article in Private Equity International
New York, NY - October, 2019 - FMG Leading’s CEO Dr. Matt Brubaker has published a new article, titled “Getting Strategic About Human Capital” in the industry-leading publication Private Equity International.
In the article, Dr. Matt Brubaker, shares how investments in relationship engineering and other human capital strategies are generating greater returns for evangelist firms.
Excerpt:
“While not generally known for being ‘touchy-feely’, private equity leaders today are becoming increasingly people-focused. Why? Because it’s profitable. High acquisition costs have created immense pressure as PE firms struggle to unlock sufficient value from their portfolio companies within compressed timeframes. The once reliable three-part playbook of financial leverage, operational restructuring and investment in growth has fallen short. Firms in the vanguard have overcome this challenge by adding a fourth prong to their approach: a human capital strategy."
A human capital strategy should employ a three-step process encompassing highly purposeful onboarding, sophisticated people assessment and ongoing monitoring and calibration. In so doing, PE firms can make certain their portfolio company leaders are strongly aligned with a growth plan and galvanised to implement it.”
