How we play across the investment and operational lifecycle
Early in an investment cycle or due diligence process, private equity firms and search funds spend hours assessing markets, identifying targets, vetting financials, making investments and streamlining operations. These are their core strengths.
Where investors are often challenged is in (1) time and (2) expertise when making digital growth decisions based on a target company’s current and planned technology platforms, infrastructure and capabilities.
Profitability of a deal also depends heavily on the degree to which a company has digitally enabled its processes and its ability to apply digital capabilities towards growth and efficiency assumptions. Expected margins don’t leave room for error.
As the investment cycle evolves, companies often struggle to optimize technology and digital capability investments in achieving investor objectives. Also, new opportunities emerge during the investment cycle which are often left uncapitalized.
In some cases, management may be unclear about how to prioritize opportunities or how to accelerate them. They may be inefficient in leveraging digital channels to better understand and serve customer needs. Or, they may be slow to adapt operations as markets change. These factors further threaten long term competitiveness.
What private equity firms and investors often need are digital transformation experts that can help them first develop technology-led hypotheses, then guide management teams in execution. NRP was created to be this transformation partner.
Digital Transformation is the application of digital capabilities to processes, products and assets in order to fundamentally change how a company operates, how it delivers value to customers and how it becomes agile in its response to changing customer, competitor and market conditions.

Bandwidth: In a dynamic market with constantly changing technologies and business models, it has become increasingly difficult for management teams, investors and operating partners to be experts in all areas of value creation

Expertise: For high-priced deals to retain their high value requires the right pools of digital expertise, at the right time, with the right playbook for success
