Private Equity Operating Partners
Create value in portfolio companies after the deal.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The balance sheet says one thing about private equity operating partners and the customer data says another — and nobody can reconcile them before the next board meeting. Every partnership signed without governance economics becomes a renegotiation you conduct from weakness. In five days you rebuild the private equity operating partners decision: value chains priced, scenarios stressed, partnerships structured, and a board-grade agenda sequenced.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Diagnose where your institution creates — and destroys — value in private equity operating partners across the balance sheet.
- Present a private equity operating partners position to boards and supervisors with evidence they will accept.
- Read the economics of private equity operating partners like an operator: unit costs, network effects and risk-adjusted return.
- Sequence a private equity operating partners transformation agenda that a board will fund and a regulator will endorse.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Deposits Leave at the Speed of a Rumour
A viral post questions a pan-African insurer’s solvency. The institution is sound, but its deposit base is concentrated and its app is the third-slowest in the market. By morning, the interbank line has tightened.
Your decision: Set the 72-hour posture — liquidity, communication and regulator engagement — with incomplete information about how far the run goes.
IPAT Data Lab™
The private equity operating partners unit economics at a pan-African insurer work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a pan-African insurer.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
