The Performance Delta helps Venture Capital and Private Equity firms optimise their investments, especially in the case of underperforming businesses.
The Performance Delta assesses where a business is leaking performance and provides a clear path to recapture this performance.
The comprehensive 6-week engagement builds a whole-system diagnostic view for Operating Partners of PE/VC firms, CEOs, and Boards.
Old methods of understanding business performance have given way to more sophisticated approaches. The Performance Delta applies system-thinking to a business, revealing the patterns at play thus allowing for course correction: adding missing elements to a business; eliminating blockages; and leveraging competitive advantages.
Understanding how and why a business performs is complex, patterns that dictate performance require interrogation. The Performance Delta provides a singular, easy-to-comprehend view of how to recapture lost value. A cross-section of stakeholders are identified and interviewed against Lockstep’s performance 7 lenses.
The Performance Delta is a consulting engagement that requires six weeks of in-person and virtual interaction, culminating in a live presentation to Boards, CEOs or management teams.
This performance ‘code’ is cracked by rigorous interrogation of all aspects of a business, each assessed through a distinct performance lens.
Is the business set
up to win?
Does the business matter
relative to the needs of society?
Does the business have the
ability to evolve?
Is the pathway forward well-interrogated and understood?
Are the various drivers
within a business in sync?
Is there a vital life force
present in the business?
Is the business optimally
organised for success?

Blindspots are inevitable when running a business and objectivity is hard to create. The Performance Delta shows a complete picture of how the business is currently operating, absent of bias, a view that is hard to generate internally.
CEOs and Management Teams have new tools and possibilities to work with as a result of The Performance Delta. Coming to grips with new ways to create value requires a period of adjustment to operationalise this change fully. Lockstep has the expertise to guide this process.
The value will differ depending on the appetite of stakeholders to realise this value. The pathway to value creation, however, will be clear.
Unlocking latent value through better performance makes the investment insignificant in comparison to the returns that can be gained.
