Granular Accountability
In Private Equity Value Creation Planning

“I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took an excuse.” Like Florence Nightingale, we value accountability. During focused Value Creation with our private equity partners, our shared success is rooted in collaboration, clarity, and highly granular accountability. This exacting approach has consistently delivered superior returns for our PE partners.

Candid and comprehensive, PE Value Creation planning compares the Current State and the desired Exit State, then defines the Levers and timeline for closing the gap. However, the secret sauce is the intensity of the follow-through: rigorous monthly reviews monitoring execution, correcting course, and celebrating progress.

These intense, iterative reviews on every key initiative by every Lever Owner deliver clear accountability and results. With Board-level visibility, Lever Owners must report on execution status, roadblocks, and next steps, as well as solicit help if falling behind. Total transparency ensures there’s “nowhere to hide.”

Month after month, quarter after quarter, that’s how we keep the Value Creation Strategic Plan Framework a “living” plan rather than a dusty binder on the shelf. Real-time matrices tracking execution and ownership are continuously reviewed and revised for actionable insights and accountability.

Kormac provides guidance, structure, and support for Value Creation, but portfolio company leadership ultimately owns the Value Creation Plan. The best VCPs are aspirational but obtainable with disciplined focus and execution. We’re committed to shared success.
