Backed by research
in 2024 INSEAD spoke to over 30 data & digital experts at PE firms globally to understand the role PE firms now expect data and AI to play in the post acquisition transformation
The study reveals that PE firms are investing heavily in data capabilities because "data-driven organisations are 8.5x more likely to report 20%+ revenue growth."
Meanwhile, companies still struggling with data chaos face:
- Investment decisions based on intuition rather than evidence
- Inability to answer board questions that give confidence to the new owners
- Missing the growth modelling that PE owners increasingly require for fundraising
- Falling behind in the new climate where financial engineering and cost take-outs are no longer sufficient
The message is clear: PE-backed companies with data chaos are leaving money on the table while their competitors build the data-driven growth engines that increase owners' confidence in management and improve exit valuations.
