HAGER commitment to Oxfam

HAGER has been supporting this initiative since 2016

The aim of this commitment is to help combat growing inequality. One approach is to support the poorest! This is why HAGER Executive Consulting joined the Oxfam initiative “Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs” back in 2016. The initiative supports women and men in poor countries in building up an economic existence through their own efforts. The aim is to overcome poverty and create a better future for those affected, their families and the people around them.

With the money that people earn in this way, they can feed their families, send their children to school, pay for medicine and medical care. Such small businesses often also create new jobs so that even more people can seize the opportunity for a better future.

“Even in economically difficult corona times, it is important for us to maintain our commitment. Because life beyond corona goes on. We have to look to the future. And with ‘Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs’, we are making our contribution to sustainable local development,” explains Ralf Hager, founder and Managing Director of HAGER Executive Consulting

 

Young people in Benin have successfully completed their training

Another Oxfam co-project supported by this contribution has already come to an end this summer: The “Project to strengthen the social and professional independence of particularly vulnerable young people in urban areas of Benin” has set itself the goal of putting 75 young people from one of the very poorest countries in the world through vocational training. In doing so, it has created economic prospects for young people in Benin, West Africa, so that they can support themselves and their families.

The theory and practical exams for hairdressing, tailoring, printing and welding took place in the first week of June, two months late due to coronavirus.

All 83 project participants passed their exams. This means that the original target of 75 successful graduates was exceeded.

“We are a company that trains apprentices ourselves, which is why we are delighted to be able to give young people in a structurally weak region career prospects with our donation,” says Ralf Hager.

The Due Diligence Private Equity Still Gets Wrong: Human Capital

Most due diligences can slice the numbers a thousand ways. Markets, models, margins – all dissected surgical precision. But the one factor that decides whether any of it turns into performance — the people expected to deliver — is still often checked last, or lightly, or not at all.

Here’s the quiet contradiction in private equity: Financial DD predicts potential. Human Capital DD predicts reality. And the gap between the two is where value is most often lost.

Die Due Diligence, die Private Equity noch immer unterschätzt: Human Capital

In Private Equity analysieren Financial und Commercial Due Diligence vor allem Potenzial. Doch ob dieses Potenzial realisiert wird, entscheidet allein die Organisation, die es umsetzen soll. Human Capital Due Diligence macht sichtbar, ob Führung, Rollen und Kultur tatsächlich in der Lage sind, die Wertsteigerungspläne zu liefern – oder ob genau dort der späteste und teuerste Wertverlust entsteht.
