What can artificial intelligence (AI) actually do for your private equity (PE) group? How can you use it in a practical way in your portfolio companies? Most importantly – how can it generate value now? Our PE team is here to help.

In this webinar, our PE specialists talk about how PE groups and their portfolio companies are using AI to generate value. They share some of the practical and tactical ways that C-suite PE and portfolio company executives are using AI, identify limits and risks to consider, and discuss how to start using AI this year. Plus, they cover how to get some quick wins by engaging your team in AI efforts. 

Lastly, polling data reveals an interesting look into how the technology is being used by professionals in the field today.

After watching this session, you should be able to:

  • Discuss what AI solutions currently are in use and working today
  • Identify practical applications of AI for your company
  • Describe requirements for successful implementation and use case opportunities for AI in private equity
  • Discuss what’s next in AI and how to prepare your organization

Webinar topics

  • AI has huge potential to drive value creation. However, adoption is still in the early stages for most midmarket private equity firms and portfolio companies, with many just starting to explore potential use cases.
  • Now is the time to start experimenting with AI pilots in a thoughtful way. Waiting beyond 2024 might mean falling behind the curve.
  • AI is rapidly advancing and becoming more accessible, even for midmarket companies. It’s important for private equity firms and portfolio companies to start exploring how AI can create value.
  • Many executives are still uncertain about AI and how it can be applied in their businesses. Educating leadership on AI capabilities is key before exploring use cases.
  • Companies should leverage AI capabilities already built into existing platforms. Focus on high-impact jobs to be done – such as analyzing documents, summarizing information, and crafting first drafts of documents – where AI can drive productivity, efficiency, and revenue growth.
  • AI is not about replacing human judgment. It’s about enabling more informed decisions, deeper insights, and better outcomes. The focus should be on using AI to augment human capabilities, not replace them. The two together are more powerful than either alone.
