If you are interested in business transformation, leading business change and navigating your growth strategy with a Private Equity investor, this podcast is for you.  Simon Grosse is CEO of FSP, a people-centric technology and change specialist with an award-winning workplace culture, head quartered in Reading, and an office in Barcelona. Simon is a very people-centric leader, and believes their ethos helps clients to transform their ways of working and to realise the value of their technology investments. Their clients successes are significant in the growth strategy of FSP.  In this podcast, Simon talks through the history of the 12 year old company, and how his purpose led style and award winning culture has brought about success for his staff, clients and the shareholders. There was a material change in the business a couple of years ago when LDC backed FSP’s ambitious management team. According to Simon, the deal marked a key step in Foundation SP’s growth journey and very importantly, he knew that partnering with LDC would help FSP to scale while remaining true to our culture and ethos. Indeed Simon was keen that LDC understood the culture of FSP and not just what they did, but how and why they were different.  I hope you will learn from his insights about business life before and after Investment, and how the change helped FSP to mature in many ways. Is PE for everyone - you'll have to listen to his views on this, and his strong views on Organic vs Inorganic business growth, such as Buy and Build / M&amp;A.  If you are considering a PE Investment, I sincerely hope Simons view will be of good use. Personally, I wonder how many businesses would fail to make the (mature) adjustments that Simon talks about which might lead to a failed investment prior to or during the deal period. By listening to this podcast, I hope you learn how to better prepare your management team and business for the required changes. What strikes me about Simon and FSP, is that for tech company -  offering consulting, digital services, managed services, cloud, cyber security and Microsoft cloud suite for modern workplace - they are very people focused. I'm not sure Simon is that tech orientated himself, but perhaps the strength of the man, to build a business where those that do love tech can grow and develop self and services in a meaningful way.   I think its certain that Simon loves business and the value that good business and businesses brings to communities.  The purpose of the PJ Tips podcasts is to share very practical insights and information to enable us to lead better businesses, navigate change and release the potential that exists in our people and businesses. Please give me feedback on whether you think this podcast hits the mark.  If you learn anything from listening or feel others could, please share this recording.   #privateequity #leadingbusinesschange #LDC #culture #businessgrowth #growthstrategy #ambition #technology #cloudservices #microsoft #digitalstrategy #change #businesstransformation #PEbacked #awardwinningculture
