A “toolbox” of field-tested operational best practices that create accretive value in three ways: growth, efficiency, and leadership.
"Operating partner" is an ambiguous term in private equity, and covers a myriad of primary responsibilities. As referenced here, an operating partner works directly with portfolio company leadership teams and/or project teams to address execution issues in the business model. An operating partner is a highly interactive, hands-on, in-the-trenches, "doer" role.
For private equity groups with operating partners, Middle Market Methods complements bandwidth and subject matter expertise. Moreover, an “outsider” is sometimes a better alternative for change management reasons.
For private equity groups without operating partners, but which desire operational support for their investments, Middle Market Methods is a viable alternative. Essentially, Middle Market Methods manages operational initiatives for the firm so that deal teams may focus on transactions.
