Simon-Kucher will present findings from the 2026 Simon-Kucher and PEI Private Equity Value Creation Study, focused on the next frontier of PE commercial value creation: execution excellence. The session will explore how leading firms are moving beyond static commercial value creation plans to build repeatable capabilities, stronger governance, and more dynamic operating models across the hold period. Attendees will learn how PE firms are underwriting commercial upside earlier, activating value faster, scaling pricing, sales, digital, and AI-enabled initiatives, and using execution discipline to create more durable portfolio performance.
