March 9thDe-Risking Executive Transitions to Accelerate Value Creation
Executive transitions are difficult, with failure rates estimated at 40 percent and a new leader often requiring six months or longer to reach breakeven productivity levels. In today’s environment, executive transitions have grown even more challenging. What can be done to de-risk transitions and enable executives to hit the ground running?
To combat failure, defensive tactics are essential, but the top firms also think strategically about opportunities to go on the offensive. With the pandemic amplifying the risk of a rocky start, executive transitions are no longer afterthoughts. The top-performing firms are ensuring that clear transition plans are in place and proactively building bench strength.
To illustrate further, search and leadership advisory experts will share and discuss practical applications of executive transition planning and processes.

May 11thBuilding D&I Talent Pipelines for Investment Advantage
While many industries are making continual strides in their diversity and inclusion hiring efforts, private equity is lagging. Today, just 18 percent of all PE professionals are female, with just 10 percent serving in senior-level roles. For professionals of color and those identified as LGBTQ, the metrics are even more discouraging.
A great deal of research in recent years has highlighted the positive impact diversity can have on investment outcomes and the private equity firms not prioritizing diversity and inclusion might miss out on some of the more interesting deals.
To illustrate further, experts from private equity and executive search examine how diversity of experience, culture, race, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation can provide an outlook and distinct perspectives that engender a rich workplace and stimulate better investment decisions.
