Dear Readers,<\/p>\n

Current lockdowns are clearly slowing down the economy. It is currently difficult to predict when the real upturn will come.

An KGM Strategy study shows that there is often still untapped potential in this area.<\/p>\n

Private equity investors have also recognized the value of large-scale optimization projects in companies. In our desk research, we found that portfolio companies are significantly better off than their competitors in terms of sales and operating profit.<\/p>\n
