value creation solutions
At People Edge, value creation is built through people. Our targeted solutions help investors and leadership teams remove execution risk, strengthen leadership capability and accelerate performance – turning talent, culture and governance into measurable commercial advantage.
People Due Diligence Toolkit
Provides a structured, de-risked approach to people due diligence, delivering a clear risk heat-map and go/no-go recommendation to the Investment Committee.
200-Day People Value Creation Plan
PerfX drives execution where it matters most – in your portfolio. It accelerates and de-risks the first 200 days post-deal by quickly translating the value creation plan into a defined “people track,” ensuring aligned leadership, clarified roles, and a simple operating rhythm for immediate execution.
Buy-and-Build Integration & Culture Lab
Minimise integration risk and protect synergy value in buy-and-build platforms through early alignment of leadership, operating model, and culture, while protecting key talent.
CEO & Management Team Investment Assessment
Gives you a clear, objective assessment of whether the current leadership team can execute the investment thesis, along with specific, actionable recommendations for team changes or targeted support.
Founder / Owner Transition Programme
Ensures a smooth, managed transition of the founder/owner to reduce relationship conflicts, safeguard value, and mitigate the risk of value leakage during or after a transaction.
Portfolio Leadership Bench & Succession Review
Provides portfolio-wide visibility of leadership strength, succession depth, and people-related risks to the Value Creation Plan, allowing for data-driven, prioritised intervention across assets.
investment and Board Effectiveness Review
Strengthens governance and value creation by ensuring your investment teams and portfolio boards are highly effective, providing constructive challenge and support to the management teams.
Leadership Conflict Mediation & Reset
Delivers fast, discreet intervention to resolve critical conflict between key stakeholders (investor, CEO, founder, or chair), quickly resetting the relationship and focus to protect the plan.
People Exit Readiness Toolkit
De-risks and enhances the exit process by preparing a clear, buyer-ready “people story,” ensuring leadership is viewed as a source of confidence and not a discount to the valuation.
challenges we address
You can’t afford for talent to be the bottleneck. That’s why you need more than CVs and org charts – you need a clear view of leadership strength, cultural fit, and talent infrastructure. With early insight into red flags, smoother CEO transitions, and stronger retention of key people, you’ll set your portfolio up to scale faster and exit stronger.
