Agenda
The Year Ahead Deep Dive - Thursday 25th
Welcome from PEI and introduction to Operating Partners All Access
The Year Ahead: Trends in value creation in 2021
- Looking back at 2020 playbooks of cost control, focusing on customers, gaining access to government support: what comes next?
- Looking at sectors: Who will the winners and losers be? For how long?
- Is cash preservation/cost cutting still top of the agenda?
- Shifting from defense to offense: are firms able to invest for growth? Moving from cash preservation/cost cutting to new business generation
- Re-opening: What will a return to normalcy look like?
- How will things change in looking at models: diligence, working with management, working in a digital world, performance monitoring/hiring, 100-day plans, salesforce effectiveness
- Virtual/remote best practices: how much will remain vs. how much will drift away? how will travel change for businesses and for operating partners?
