Despite of increasing focus on value creation, many portfolios still underperform. This session flips the lens from "what drives value" to the less discussed but critical question: what quietly destroys it?

• What could go wrong with the 100-day plans?

• Are we investing enough in our commercial and growth capabilities?

• Do you have a misalignment between sponsor and management that erodes into value creation? And what are the early warning signs?

• Do we have the wrong team?

• Why are AI investments not generating the desired outcome?

Many value creation initiatives historically over-indexed on operational excellence. Today, the conversation is shifting toward holistic transformation that connects growth, operations, and technology and the need for reinventing business model. Join this session to hear how can value creation becoming truly transformative instead of just optimising yesterday's models?

• Why "Ops-only" value creation is no longer enough

• Integrating growth, procurement, M&A, and AI into a single VCP narrative

• How to frame transformation so it resonates with boards and management

• If every portfolio company has a Chief Transformation Officer, why do so few transformations succeed?
