In private equity, the investment case is tested from many angles. Commercial assumptions, financials, legal structures and operational risks are examined with considerable rigour.

One question is often less systematically assessed: does the existing leadership team have the capability, depth and adaptability to deliver the plan under new ownership?

The recording of our recent webinar on Management Potential Analysis (MPA) is now available on request. The session is designed for financial sponsors and investment professionals involved in deal execution, portfolio value creation and leadership assessment.

Frederik Otto, Nick Harris and Helene Renoul-Grimm discuss how investors can bring more structure to the assessment of leadership risk before signing, during post close integration or as part of a portfolio review.

The conversation focuses on MPA as AvS Advisors’ approach to management due diligence. It examines how a structured assessment can help investors understand where capability gaps may sit, how deep the management bench is, whether hidden succession risks exist and how leaders are likely to behave under pressure.

The discussion also looks at the practical implications for the 100 day plan, including decisions on retaining, developing, augmenting or reshaping leadership teams after closing.
