Processes

New Revolution Partners fills a gap in the Private Equity, Search Fund, small and medium sized business markets by focusing on both strategy and execution in a mid-market environment. We do so through short-duration digital acceleration projects. Our flexible and rapid-launch structure allows us to work collaboratively on targeted high-impact opportunities with new or established management teams as well as any current consulting partners and third-party vendors.

We Focus on Unlocking Growth

Innovation happens at a blistering pace. NRP understands what it means to operate at the speed of digital. Our methodology was honed by years of experience in the trenches, working through the challenges and complexities of Digital Transformation. 

NRP first identifies, prioritizes and directs effort towards opportunities that exponentially increase a Portfolio Company’s valuation. We then work with companies to re-imagine how value can be realized sooner by adopting agile principles in the management of its operations. 

NRP leverages agile methods in all our implementation engagements, focusing teams on rapid execution and market responsiveness via test-and-learn processes. As part of these efforts, we assist companies in finding and engaging the best digital and agile skill sets required on targeted opportunities. We then build teams complemented by a mix of NRP experts, company leads and external resources.

Our Digital Focus Areas

Digital Customers and Marketing

We first assess a company's current customers, potential new segments, customer profitability, brand value and value propositions to different segments. We then analyze marketing metrics and marketing effectiveness with target customers, identifying performance opportunities based on industry best practices. Finally, we help identify operating partners and build the execution teams that optimize deployment of new marketing programs.

Digital Product and Services

We start by understanding a company's product-market fit and profitability through the lens of current and planned product and service offerings. We map these against current and prospective customers. We build on our findings to assess the competitive landscape and product/service expansion opportunities. We then assist management teams in developing and implementing an execution roadmap, including supply chain approaches, marketing strategy and development timelines.

Digital Delivery and Distribution

We help optimize sales conversion on digital channels by streamlining a company's ability to deliver revenue and revenue growth. This can include A/B testing on flows across web and mobile app eCommerce platforms, ensuring lead generation traffic is directed to digital sales channels, changing app interfaces to smoothen traffic flow and checkout, increasing site engagement time and reducing abandonment. We complete the funnel by assessing delivery effectiveness and cost structures across the funnel.

Process Optimization

We enable agile implementation and proliferation across an organization through our dedicated and measured methodologies. Our focus is building flexibility and adaptability in market responsiveness, reducing time to market and driving revenue growth. This includes adjusting sales processes and post-sales support to serve both high margin and high impact customers, and reallocating resources accordingly. We further look for automation, decision-support and data analytics improvement areas across engagements.

Technology

We first assess a company's current digital capabilities and planned investments against strategic investment objectives and operating models. We then identify, prioritize and stage core requirements on the technology roadmap, including technologies, partners and infrastructure for the short and medium term. Finally, we assist companies in their integration needs based on current capabilities, maturity of the technology roadmap and potential partners to be onboarded.
