Private Equity and AI: From Adoption to Value

Matt Redente and Doug Schrock
11/2/2026

 

Crowe specialists explain where private equity groups and their portfolio companies stand on AI adoption, demonstrate quick wins you can put in place within days, and share a practical plan for turning AI into measurable value.

[3:35] Where the market stands: Find out why many companies bought AI licenses but still can’t point to results – and what sets apart the small group already seeing value. Use AI as a digital coworker that writes strong first drafts, not as just another piece of software.

[8:04] A building-block approach to adoption: Start with structured education then move to quick wins before taking on bigger process redesigns. Learn how to act now to get ahead of competitors.

[16:46] Quick wins you can deploy in days: Watch basic AI tools build a formula-driven cash flow, an inventory dashboard that flags data problems, and a competitor website analysis in minutes. Try the same approach with the spreadsheets and public information you already have.

[33:33] Measuring AI’s value: Track the return of AI through productivity gains, cost savings such as replacing paid software, revenue growth from faster quote responses, and talent retention. Tie each use case to the KPIs that affect EBITDA.

[42:18] Overcoming barriers and getting started: Close skills gaps with focused training and keep your data secure with AI data solutions. Then bring AI champions from across the organization together to turn early wins into lasting momentum.

Note: Only attendees of the live webinar are eligible for CPE or CLE credit for qualifying webinars. If you view the webinar recording on this page you may not be eligible for CPE or CLE. For questions about CPE, contact [email protected].
