Greg Schooley, EY-Parthenon US Value Creation Leader, joins Winna Brown to discuss what tasks PE is outsourcing across business functions such as finance, IT, HR and customer service to create value.

The path to successful value creation in private equity (PE) today goes beyond typical levers such as G&A cost-cutting, sales force effectiveness and strategic sourcing. It’s about an approach that leverages digital tools including automation, strategic outsourcing and advanced analytics.

Going forward, PE-owned companies of all sizes may need to look at outsourcing as a way to access cutting-edge technologies and capabilities that can lead to revenue growth opportunities, in addition to reducing costs.
