Performance Transformation, LLC™ Launches Services For Private Equity And Angel Investor Markets

VENICE, Fla. - July 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Performance Transformation, LLC™ (Venice, FL) announced today the launch of their newest service offering specifically tailored for Private Equity firms and Angel Investors.  The Performance Equity portfolio offers an array of custom services and technologies designed to fully address the greatest risk factor in equity financing; the human element of leadership teams.

The evolutionary approach integrates insights, assessments and development tools garnered from recent discoveries from the neurosciences with a machine learning platform that employs advanced algorithms to generate predictive analytics.

"This is truly innovative, bringing a level of analytical sophistication to private markets that was previously only available to major firms operating in public markets," said Terry Murray, founder and Managing Partner of Performance Transformation. "Being able to quantify and mitigate human risk factors within leadership teams is a powerful first step, but it's just the beginning.  Going forward, our clients will be positioned to leverage Big Data into business intelligence of unprecedented value."

Founded in 2008, Performance Transformation, LLC (http://performtransform.com) is a leading innovator in driving organizational performance.  The firm takes a comprehensive approach of optimizing and aligning leadership, strategy and organizational culture to drive breakthrough productivity, engagement, and innovation.  Mr. Murray is also the author of "The Transformational Entrepreneur", which was cited by the academic Journal of Economic Literature for its thought leadership in March, 2012.

"For Angel Investors, the human elements and dynamics of the leadership team have always represented the greatest risk factor in their investment portfolio," added Mr. Murray, who has been working within the investor-driven startup community since 2001.  "Until now, there has not been a way to standardize, quantify, and proactively address these factors scientifically.  This is a game changer.  Angels are continuously collecting reams of due diligence information that, once the investment decision is made, turns fallow.  Our approach will enable them to leverage that information into remarkably valuable business intelligence to optimize the IRR on their portfolios."

Performance Transformation has identified an antecedent, causal correlation between assessable, neurological styles and the top leadership competencies shared by today's high performers.  Their proprietary Accretive Coaching Process℠ employs an educationally-based approach to cultivate new neural pathways in the prefrontal cortex and frontal lobe, breaking constrained thinking patterns that take root in the Basal Ganglia.  The resulting neural networks enable adaptive thinking to emerge, the type of thinking entrepreneurs and executives require in today's volatile, rapidly changing environment.  The developmental approach is grounded in tangible, stretch business objectives to drive immediate performance improvements.  The firm has partnered with Root 5 Systemics™ (Toronto, ON) and Talent Sprocket™ (St. Petersburg, FL) to enable the integration of advanced, team dynamic assessments and the predictive analtyics engine.

"For several years, we were way ahead of the curve," commented Terry. "Being the lone voice in the wilderness takes intestinal fortitude, but that's where innovators reside.  It's all paid off, as our approach and vision is being validated nearly every day now.  The U.S. Army just published a study that aligns with and validates our insights and one of the largest corporations in the United States has adopted the core premise of our methodologies."  Mr. Murray's work was also formally commended by General David Petraeus in 2010.

Addressing the value this represents for the Private Equity sector, Terry points to the annual State of American Business report from Gallup®.

"For the twelth year running, Gallup reports employee engagement levels are endemically stuck at 3 out of 10 employees.  Seventy percent of employees are asleep at the switch or even worse, working at cross-purpose with their employers.  This represents a talent arbitrage opportunity within many, many firms.  We're talking about the raw material of value creation in the 21st Century; human talent.  For many firms, approximately 50% of their payroll is delivering little or no return on investment.  If Henry Ford had a scrap rate of 50% on his raw materials, I doubt it would have become an endemic productivity and earnings drain for more than a decade.  He would have done something about it!"  

Mr. Murray adds, "Our integrative approach can scientifically identify these opportunities and, more importantly, fuel rapid turnarounds in employee engagement, productivity and the resulting innovation that will flow from intelligent, organizational and leadership rehabilitation.  We can cut development costs while achieving breakthrough improvements in productivity and earnings.  This approach will revolutionize management practices going forward."
