Do you have less than 1.5 hours to understand the principles and best practices of developing a private equity investment strategy? Do you want to make informed decisions as a leader?

This quick guide is for leaders who are pressed for time and need to know the contours of the right approach to make informed decisions, ask the right questions, understand how to analyze the problem and how to provide guidance and input to their teams.

We lay out the business case to encourage target companies to agree to the deal and lead indicators for when a potential target acquisition should be approached. The investment thesis is a guide serving four stakeholders.

First, it describes the thinking of the principals who are proposing the investment strategy. In other words, why do they believe this investment strategy will work, and how it will work.

Second, it is used within the private equity firm to question the strategy. The more unique the strategy, relative to what competitors are pursuing, the more discussions are needed.

Third, it becomes the critical document to raise investment funding and help investors understand the risk tolerance and risk appetite of the fund, as well as their potential exit timelines.

Fourth, it is also often used to educate and encourage potential acquisition targets to agree to the deal.

Over the past 10 years on StrategyTraining.com and FIRMSconsulting.com, you have seen us help numerous clients solve complex business problems: developing a big data strategy, a corporate strategy, a digital & IT strategy, a pandemic & disaster strategy, a luxury brands strategy, a turnaround & transformation strategy, and more—all based on the combined best practices of the author and the ex-McKinsey, BCG et al., partners who produce all the strategy training programs on StrategyTraining.com.

Our quick guides distill the steps, actions, processes and considerations that go into developing a unique investment thesis to drive a private equity strategy. You will understand the logic behind the investment thesis, potential pitfalls and how we use it to filter potential acquisitions.

You will understand the output that comes from all the hypotheses, decision trees, and prioritizing tools we teach across all our programs, summarizing the best practices from ex-McKinsey, BCG et al. partners to help you solve mankind’s most pressing problems.

While we can’t guarantee the results for each reader, those who have read our books and members who use our online training programs on StrategyTraining.com/apps and SLIDES report:

Greater recognition
More leadership roles
Greater contribution
Quicker onboarding
Deeper understanding of the issues
Strategy perspective of the issues
Deeper insights
Rapid promotions
Sense of purpose
Clarity of thought

If you find this quick guide helpful, you may also benefit from The Private Equity Strategy Journal. The Private Equity Strategy Journal and The Private Equity Strategy Quick Guide are complementary. They both contain useful and different information to explain the problem. The quick guide is for leaders who want to understand the problem to guide their teams. The Journal is for those who want to do the work to solve the problem.

Do you want to develop a counterintuitive strategy insight and/or lead a team to develop a counterintuitive strategy insight?

You have enough experience to know that frameworks, decision trees, applying MECE and 80/20 principles, hypotheses, and structured problem solving are important, but they are not enough. You know a brilliant insight often looks like a mediocre insight. A great strategy often looks like a bad strategy. Analysis is messy. Data is flawed and misleading. Best practices routinely fail. Hypotheses change. Data changes. Linear thinking often does not work.

This book helps solve this problem. We present the background to a client. You get to follow the design of the strategy study and watch how the solution is developed. Over the past 10 years on StrategyTraining.com and FIRMSconsulting.com, you have seen us help numerous clients solve complex business problems: developing a big data strategy, a corporate strategy, a digital & IT strategy, a pandemic & disaster strategy, a luxury brands strategy, a turnaround & transformation strategy, and more—all based on the combined best practices of the author and the ex-McKinsey, BCG et al., partners who produce all the strategy training programs on StrategyTraining.com.

This book shows you the daily steps, actions, processes, and considerations that go into developing a unique insight for a major company under tight timelines and intense scrutiny. You will get to see which data is used, why it was used, which data was discarded and why it was discarded.

On a daily and weekly basis, you will see us use strategy considerations, engagement update reports, storyboards, analyses tools, strategy maps, client management tools and more, summarizing the best practices from ex-McKinsey, BCG et al., partners and our most successful clients, to help you solve mankind’s most pressing problems. The book helps you learn the process to solve strategy and business problems like a strategy partner. You will get to see the numerous contradictions, nuances, and trade-offs that the highest-performing strategy thinkers face. You will learn how to make ethical and balanced decisions based on who is the client and who is not the client. The core of this book revolves around the daily guides to show you how the study is designed, planned, staffed, structured, and run, all the way from focus interviews to day-in-the-life-of studies to financial analysis, financial modeling, and case studies. The book is divided into weeks. Each week is split into days. Days are split into key activities and observations from the study.

While we can’t guarantee the results of each reader, clients who have used the book and FIRMSconsulting Insiders who have used the accompanying online training program consisting of 270+ videos on which the book is based report:

Deeper insights

Greater recognition

Rapid promotions

Deeper understanding of executives

Happier teams

Greater productivity

Project success

Superior assignments

The book takes you step by step, week by week and day by day through the process to receive a problem, frame the problem, structure the analysis, assemble the team, manage the team, and manage the client toward the solution. You get to go inside the mind of a strategy partner. That is the greatest benefit of this book. At times you will see references to additional resources that our most loyal members, FIRMSconsulting Insiders and SLIDES members, have access should they need to dive deeper into a specific topic (e.g., competitive strategy, digital & IT strategy, implementation, problem-solving, etc.).

Are you overwhelmed by intellectual noise—news, reports and social media—and just want the distilled strategy insights that most of your peers may not possess?

Over the past 10 years on StrategyTraining.com and FIRMSconsulting.com, you have seen us help numerous clients solve complex business problems: developing a big data strategy, a digital & IT strategy, a pandemic & disaster strategy, a luxury brands strategy, a corporate strategy & transformation program, and much more.

We bring that level of thinking to our weekly insights shared in this series.

Every Monday morning at 8 a.m., we send out a note and podcast to our members, offering powerful bite-sized insights from the 4-5 major business topics of the week. We don’t focus on the news or trends. We focus on the implications and how our readers and their organizations should think about these events to gain a competitive advantage in the world. Our readers consider these insights crucial to start their week strong and help move their careers forward.

“I want to say thank you for putting this week’s Monday Morning 8 a.m. together. It’s very profound and has saved me from making some important decisions out of fear.” – Claire

This book contains the edited version of those Monday morning insights. Our readers found it so valuable that they wanted it published in a book format for easy reference. Here it is. This book will make you a deeper thinker, a better professional and a more valued member of your organization. If you pay attention and take action, it could change your career—and your life.

Most members have had to work their way through all the notes week by week. Now, it is all in one place, containing timeless lessons on strategy, leadership, competition, business and risk. Our insights help our readers step out of the noise and focus on questions like:

What is the unique advantage I am developing?
What is the unique insight that I can uncover in my industry/space that most others are not seeing?
What are the strategy implications?
What am I missing in a business trend?
How do I compete?
Where do I compete?
How do I reach my highest potential?
How do the highest-performing professionals manage their careers?
How do I lead my team to maximize the results we deliver?

The insights are summarized in an easy-to-read format. It would take you many hours of listening to get the same material you will get in this book. And it could very well be the information you need to achieve the results you most need and desire now.

Get it, read it and take action. Be part of our movement to solve mankind’s toughest problems.

Since our Monday Morning 8 a.m. insights go out weekly, we will periodically update this book with the latest insights, subject to Amazon's terms and conditions.

Although we make these insights available to everyone, it is developed for our most loyal members, FIRMSconsulting Insiders and SLIDES members. At times you will see references to additional resources that our most loyal members have access to should they need to dive deeper into a specific topic (e.g., competitive strategy, digital & IT strategy, implementation, problem-solving, etc.).

Turquoise Eyes: A Novel about Problem Solving & Critical Thinking 20-Apr-2020

by Kris Safarova

( 80 )

$9.99 $38.46

Turquoise Eyes started off the groundbreaking new genre developed by FIRMSconsulting that combines compelling narrative while teaching problem solving and critical thinking skills. Set after a bank begins implementing a new retail banking strategy, we follow Teresa García Ramírez de Arroyo, a director general in the Mexican government, who has received some disturbing news.

A whistleblower has emailed Teresa with troubling news about a mistake in the loan default calculations and reserve ratios. The numbers do not add up.

The book loosely uses the logic and financial analyses in A Typical McKinsey Engagement, >270 videos: https://www.strategytraining.com/market-entry-strategy-program

Our business books are different.

Most people learn business because they are forced to, for their careers or to earn a larger salary. Most business books are, consequently, boring and dense. They have little incentive to be interesting because they have a captive market. Many avoid a business career because the books are presented as a hurdle to be overcome. We wondered what would happen if we made business books interesting, so people chose to read them? Would we draw more people into business? Would we generate more enthusiasm and excitement for business at a younger age?

This book teaches advanced business concepts through a compelling storyline. This new genre of our books is written not only for people already interested in business but also for people who may not realize they have an interest or talent for business. Clients always request gift ideas for their children, spouses, friends, and families to get them interested in business and critical thinking. In part, this is our response to those requests.

We want you to learn advanced critical thinking without realizing you are learning. We hope you will enjoy it, too.

We believe the more people who find business interesting and choose to learn business, the better it is for everyone. Businesses will have a larger pool of employees from whom to select and more of the right people will be choosing the discipline to improve humanity versus simply to make more money.

Imagine the advantage your children will have if they learned critical thinking in high school, or even before high school? Imagine if you had that advantage? Imagine if you had learned strategy alongside science and math in high school? The possibilities would be endless. It all starts with the right books. And it’s never too late to start.

If learning is engaging, it will stop being a chore.

We, therefore, produce the Kindle version for readers who bought the softcover version and wanted a mobile reference tool, and encourage you to buy the softcover version.

You need to develop a digital and information technology management strategy and want a guide to do so.

What if you had one tool that you could carry into meetings and write inside, that guided you step-by-step to set out the steps of the strategy, generate the size-of-the-prize, guide your team, design the tests for the hypotheses, conduct focus interviews, develop the vision, develop the strategy, set the scope of the function, identify the needed competencies and rank them, develop a governance model, develop the governing architecture, develop the implementation plan, develop the transformation plan, be guided on service level agreements, set up a budgeting process to prioritize investments, lay the foundation for a pilot implementation, track your daily and weekly tasks, plan each major meeting, plan the message for your team and manager, manage the project and guide you through critical update meetings?

Now you do. The Digital & Information Management Journal is the companion guide to our popular books like Succeeding as a Management Consultant, The Operations Management Journal, The Investment Journal, The Leadership Journal, and The Strategy Journal, an Amazon bestseller.

This journal is not an encyclopedia of every consideration in developing a strategy. Our readers told us they wanted to see a best-practice guide that is practical and works. They wanted to know how to start, develop and execute on a digital and information management strategy. They wanted to create a strategy that led to action. They wanted to know how to determine what analysis to perform. They wanted to know how to manage the rollout. They wanted a guide to help them on Monday Morning 8am at the office. We meet this need with the 100-page step-by-step visual guide to a digital and information management strategy.

On StrategyTraining.com/FIRMSconsulting.com, you have seen us over the last 10 years help numerous clients solve complex business problems: postal turnaround, merge tech giants, help a bank enter the US Market, etc. Among other tools, this journal contains a 120-page visual guide to developing a digital and information management plan to guide the reader.
The Digital & Information Management Strategy Journal was used by many of our very successful clients and summarizes the approach we used to help them increase their productivity, transform their careers, set daunting career goals, outperform peers, and measure the value they create.

Through daily and weekly prompts, to-do list guides, client reminders, end-of-day scorecards, templates, completed examples, checklists and reminders, the journal takes the best practices from ex-McKinsey, BCG, et al., partners and our most successful clients to help you solve mankind’s most pressing problems.

The journal helps you learn the routine to solve information management and business problems like a partner. As you follow the guide, you will learn the habits of the highest-performing information management strategy thinkers.

The greatest value of a Journal is that you write in them. They are not typically published in digital format. We published the digital edition of The Journal for those clients who found great value in always having a reference version with them. The digital format is therefore best purchased along with the print version.
