The case for excellence

Corporate entities in numerous industries have created enterprise-level Centers of Excellence to develop and promote leadership, best practices, research, and support for critical business functions.

These Centers for Excellence jumpstart unified processes and maintain high operating standards. They can also optimize returns on investments.

The Opportunity

Leading private capital firms are now also evaluating or implementing this model in an effort to systematize and optimize value creation across all of their portfolio companies.

How can your firm most efficiently build its own Center of Excellence or — if your firm has already initiated this model — optimize its value?
