KKR's EMEA Capstone works with portfolio companies to drive operational improvement and value creation. As its portfolio value creation programs grew in scale and complexity, the need for a consistent way to manage execution across companies became increasingly important.
Conductor was deployed across three portfolio companies: Marelli in automotive, FiberCop in telecom, and Accell Group in manufacturing. Each program had different objectives and operating environments, but all required strong governance, financial visibility, and accountability for execution.
Value creation was being managed differently across portfolio companies, with disconnected tools and inconsistent approaches to governance and reporting.
- Each company ran value creation differently, with disconnected tools and no shared approach to governance and reporting.
- Operating partners relied on manual status packs and ad hoc reporting, making it hard to spot risks or compare progress across companies.
- No consistent line between individual initiatives and their financial outcomes.
- A standardized approach to initiative governance, financial tracking, and execution visibility across the portfolio.
- Real-time roll-up dashboards let operating partners compare progress and act on risks early.
- Every initiative connected to its financial outcome, portfolio-wide.
KKR deployed Conductor as a common value creation platform across the portfolio, creating a standardized approach to initiative governance, financial tracking, and execution visibility.
Conductor has been revolutionary for us at Marelli in managing over 50 different restructuring and value-creation initiatives. Conductor is highly value-adding, and I can run all this as one person rather than having streams of external consulting firms. I can't imagine doing any future VCPs without this.
By establishing a common execution model across the portfolio — with real-time visibility for operating partners — KKR delivered value at scale across three industries.
Value creation becomes more scalable when execution is governed with the same discipline across every portfolio company.
KKR used Conductor to establish a common model for managing initiatives, financial outcomes, and accountability across three companies and three industries. The result was greater visibility for operating partners and a repeatable approach to value creation that could be applied across the portfolio.
