The LCap Group, a major authority in the field of leadership insights for high-growth companies and investors, announce the launch of Leadership Dynamics, a first-of-its-kind leadership analytics and evaluation tool to help the private equity sector and wider business community implement change.
Blending big data, 18 years of industry expertise, academic rigor and machine learning integration, Leadership Dynamics is specifically focused on the needs of PE funds and PE backed high-growth businesses. Its primary objective is to provide bespoke leadership foresight to Investment Directors, Chairs and CEOs, supporting the implementation of change in a bid to reduce the investment risk of an executive team not being able to deliver on their value creation plan.

Innovative leadership foresight
Differentiating itself from current leadership insight tools, Leadership Dynamics is backed by data from over 7,000 successful business exits over the past 10 years and the only behavioral evaluation product designed by psychologists for the unique leadership demands of venture, private and growth capital. By focusing on fundamental behaviors rather than personality types and using anonymized data to model leadership teams, the tool helps to eliminate inherent bias and actively seeks cognitive diversity as well as demonstrating good governance and transparency from an ESG perspective.
Benchmarking that goes beyond machine learning
Leadership Dynamics enables comparisons between existing leadership teams and anonymized teams modeled using machine learning, as well as real leadership teams of previously successful businesses drawn from The LCap Group’s extensive proprietary data. Through a mix of expertise, data backing and machine learning support, the tool allows venture, private and growth capital an unbiased assessment of the executive teams, at arm’s length, and the foresight to maximize the value creation plan.
