PwC Consulting Launches 'Value Delivery Center' to Support Value-Up of Private Equity-Owned Companies

PwC Consulting announced on the 24th that it has officially launched the Value Delivery Center (Rapid Value Delivery Center, RVDC) to closely support private equity (PE) firms in rapidly maximizing the value of their portfolio companies amid the ongoing global economic recession and downturn.

The Value Delivery Center is composed of over 20 experts who have provided value creation services to domestic and international PE firms for more than 10 years. To offer differentiated services, advanced methodologies, use cases, and digital analytics tools developed by PwC US have also been applied.

Since PE firms typically aim to exit their investments within about five years, they must quickly implement strategies to enhance corporate value after acquisition. The Value Delivery Center plans to identify all potential opportunities to increase the value of portfolio companies invested in by PE firms and provide services to ensure smooth execution on-site, thereby achieving tangible financial results within the investment period.

To this end, the center utilizes over 500 verified value levers (actions that can be taken to increase a company's value) across various industries to identify all improvement opportunities throughout the entire value chain (full coverage potential). Additionally, by leveraging more than 50 digital analytics tools, it rapidly visualizes hidden improvement opportunities that were difficult to find based solely on past experience. Furthermore, these capabilities will be internalized within PE firms or portfolio companies to establish a sustainable execution system.

Kim Doo-hee, Partner and Head of PwC Consulting’s Value Delivery Center, said, “In an era of low growth, actively identifying and executing value-up tasks to increase the value of portfolio companies in order to improve investment returns is a recent trend among global PE firms in advanced markets. We will act as a partner to successfully support not only large PE firms but also mid-sized and small PE firms in enhancing their investment profitability.”
