The Tesla Model S. The Uber aggregator business model. The Amazon bookstore. What do they all have in common? They’re all smart. Smart products, smart business models and smart services created by data-driven tech companies that have dominated their industries and produced outsized returns for their investors. Now the high technology of digital transformation has matured to enable any traditional company to increase its competitiveness and growth profile by developing tech-facilitated business models and more intangible assets, like the most successful tech companies.

But what exactly is digital transformation, and how does it create value? Which portfolio companies have the most to gain? Who is the digital operating partner? And most important, how can your firm use this new value creation tool to achieve top-quartile results? The Private Equity Digital Operating Partner provides in-depth answers to these questions and more.

Business and technology thought leader Bruce Sinclair has been helping companies digitally transform since 2015, first as an independent consultant and then as an operating partner for a middle-market private equity firm. Now, he shares his unmatched insight and expertise to help private equity firms generate new alpha by:

Digital transformation is leading to structural changes in all industries, and associated with any such changes are investment opportunities. Not just by betting on smart companies, but by buying companies and making them smart. This is your opportunity to take the lead by seizing the power of digital transformation.
