In the January 2025 issue of Private Equity Magazine, Patrick Bordessoule reviews the key features of D&I:
- Values: Ethics, Professionalism, Discretion, Efficiency.
- The operating model: independence, collegiality, operational integration – it’s always the firm’s partners who personally take charge of the assignments, which are always operational.
- Missions: performance improvement, turnaround, and more generally assistance to companies in complex situations.
- The experience and quality of the Partners: the firm has been in existence for 35 years, and the team is constantly being renewed. However, the Partners all have 10 to 15 years’ experience of managing SMEs in different sectors and situations.
- The methodological approach: an in-depth operational diagnosis lasting 4 to 6 weeks, with broad employee involvement, concluded by a dated, costed action plan, prior to deployment of the plan, a veritable roadmap for all stakeholders. In fact, we always make sure to present employees with the diagnosis and plan when they start an operational assignment.
