The professional services sector is undergoing a seismic shift.

With tighter exit windows and multiple expansion doing less of the heavy lifting, more value must be created inside the business. This report explores why portfolio companies lose momentum, how different transformation challenges require different leadership profiles, and where a dedicated Transformation or Value Creation Leader can provide the ownership and discipline needed to turn the value creation plan into results.
