What happens when an equity firm wants to add to their portfolio? Only the asset is not quite polished for purchase? In this episode we connect with Jon Holden, Private Equity Management Consultant. Jon walks us through various examples of how private equity firms launch teams into organizations in an effort to improve processes and quality of the assets.

We learn from Jon how to best approach the situation, especially when the employees may feel threatened due to change. He walks us through how to integrates himself into the organizations so that employees understand the benefit, and pull him in as a member of the team.
