Think. Aim. Fire: Now Your Manufacturing Investments Can Manufacture More EBITDA
Though PE firms don’t need to become technology aficionados, they would be wise to ask themselves and their portfolio companies five critical questions. At Performance Improvement Partners, we preach to our clients that to obtain the highest return on technology investments, you really need to know where you should be going and have a Plan B in case you hit a bump in the road. Planes don’t leave airports without a final destination and emergency landing procedures. Just be diligent; ensure that portfolio company dashboards deliver the needed key metrics rather than like to have or what’s really cutting-edge. In the long run, you will save yourself time, money, and wasted effort.
