We work with a wide spectrum of private equity and venture capital firms. Many of our clients seek our expertise to enhance their human capital strategies, from due diligence to value creation initiatives.

We collaborate with firms that have limited in-house HR capabilities, serving as their primary partner for talent management and organisational development. Additionally, we work alongside PE firms with established HR teams, providing specialised insights and complementary perspectives to optimise their people strategies.

Our adaptable approach allows us to add value across various investment stages, from early-stage venture capital to mid-cap private equity firms

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of each portfolio company's human capital landscape, identifying talent opportunities, cultural dynamics and potential quick wins. This initial evaluation shapes our project scope, which we refine collaboratively with company leadership and the PE firm's investment team.

Our adaptive approach ensures each engagement delivers measurable impact, tailored to the specific people challenges and growth objectives of the portfolio company, regardless of its industry or growth stage

We prioritise establishing robust people analytics frameworks to accurately measure outcomes. We work with you to implement these systems, facilitating knowledge transfer and building sustainable in-house capabilities.

We develop executive dashboards that clearly demonstrate the financial impact of our human capital initiatives. These dashboards track key metrics such as employee productivity, retention rates, and talent acquisition efficiency.

This approach ensures transparency and accountability throughout the engagement, allowing both the portfolio company and the PE firm to see tangible results from our interventions.

We tailor our engagements to meet each client's specific human capital needs, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Whilst durations vary, here's a general guideline:

- Due diligence projects typically span 2-4 weeks

- Value creation initiatives often run for 3-6 months

- Fractional People Partner roles can range from a few months to a year or more

The length of engagement depends on the complexity of the human capital challenges, the scale of the portfolio company, and the specific objectives of the private equity firm. We remain flexible to ensure we deliver maximum value, regardless of the timeframe.

We combine the analytical approach of top-tier management consulting with the practical expertise of seasoned human capital practitioners. Our unique blend of corporate scaling experience and lean entrepreneurial know-how, coupled with our adept use of AI technologies, ensures our clients receive actionable insights that drive tangible results in the real world.

This distinctive approach allows us to offer more than just theory—we provide practical, implementable strategies that truly move the needle on human capital performance.
