The Importance Of People In Private Equity
There is increasing awareness that effective management of "people issues" has a huge impact on the success of private equity companies.
There are 3 critical elements to the success of any PE investment;
There must be a great product or service – the heart of any successful business
The financial structure of the investment – including cost of acquisition – must create the potential for a successful return on investment
The quality of people must be very high as this will be the primary influence on whether potential of the product / service is fully realised. This is a question of both individual and team talent development.
Two recent trends make effective people management in portfolio companies even more important:
As the cost of initial acquisitions continues to rise in a highly competitive market, it becomes even more important to drive operational improvements if satisfactory returns are to be generated.
The pace of change in business generally has become increasingly fast, impacted in particular by a wide range of digital technologies including AI / machine learning. This has contributed to the adoption of a range of agile management techniques which permit organisations to be more customer responsive and innovate more effectively. These changes have major organisational and operational implications and their successful adoption can provide a substantial competitive edge. PE companies can cost effectively stimulate the adoption of best practice across their portfolio companies in a way that individual companies could not afford / justify. Effectively PE companies can generate benefits of scale from the overall size of their investment portfolio – without adversely affecting the unique nature of each of their portfolio investments.
It is however not only the effectiveness of people in portfolio companies that matters. People management within the private equity company itself must be of the highest quality if investment returns are to be maximised.
There are, therefore, a wealth of opportunities to improve investment returns through getting people management right. To maximise returns these opportunities must be co-ordinated and prioritised rather than treated as individual ad-hoc activities.

Online education master's degrees are rigorous programs generally completed within two years. Students learn advanced education concepts that build on their previous studies and work experience to sharpen teaching skills and become potential leaders in the field. The following sections outline program milestones and admissions processes for online master's in education programs.
The admissions process for an online criminal justice master's degree program begins with successful completion of an accredited undergraduate program. Students must major or minor in criminal justice or complete studies in a closely related field. They must be prepared to submit letters of recommendation from professors that taught criminal justice-related classes and provide examples of success throughout their undergraduate program, whether this is was in the form of successfully completed simulation crime investigation projects or well-written essays and reports.
Education applicants should have a bachelor's degree in a related field, but some schools admit students with degrees in other disciplines if they intend to teach that subject.
Online master's students in education may be required to earn a certain score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Miller Analogies Test (MAT) or the Academic Literacy Skills Test (ALST) before they apply to a program. Those who speak a first language other than English may have to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Prospective education students should submit letters of recommendation from undergraduate professors and employers that can speak to their teaching skills and academic abilities. Generally, schools expect two to four references with each application.
Applicants who have professional teaching experience can highlight their skills and expertise on their resumes; students without professional experience can use this opportunity to highlight other relevant achievements or experience.
Some online schools allow students to specialize their coursework to certain career goals. These concentrations might include instructional design, educational leadership, or a specific grade level or topic area.
Practicing teachers pursuing online master's degrees in education usually have experience administering student assessments. On the graduate level, they're expected to increase their competencies in this area by learning advanced data-driven techniques for evaluating student success, designing instruction and establishing learning standards.
Education students gain an advanced understanding of learning and teaching theories, and how they apply to different student populations and learning needs.
Online master's in education programs' curricula are designed to prepare students for state licensing examinations to become teachers, or enter related education professions.
Lesson plans are the building blocks successful learning experiences and outcomes. Online master's in education students learn how to identify students' needs, design effective curricula and adjust plans as needed.
Courses highlighting fundamental teaching theories are critical for education master's students; practical training requirements help them apply those principles in real-world settings. Students are generally required to complete a minimum number of student-teaching hours in the classroom.
Education master's programs provide holistic teacher training by combining academic and hands-on learning. Graduation requirements ensure students mastered the skills and concepts necessary for effective teaching.
Students may be expected to create a work sample that exhibits their ability to design and implement a multi-week curriculum based on the needs of a hypothetical student, classroom or school.
Online master's degree in education programs sometimes require student theses outlining original, field-relevant research. Some students may need to orally defend their work on topics such as curricula creation, instructional planning or education policy.
Internships give students practical training in environments relevant to their areas of specialization. Someone specializing in elementary education would complete student teaching hours in K-12 environment, for instance, while those specializing in educational leadership serve administration-related internships.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, high elementary, middle, and high school enrollments and expected teacher retirements will generate a six percent increase in demand for teachers of all types over the next several years. Graduates of online master's education programs can pursue other relevant positions, however, including the following.
Community college instructors craft course curriculum, give lectures, and grade tests and homework. Unlike four-year college professors, community college teachers spend more time teaching as the expectation for published research is deemphasized.
Instructional coordinators with educators to create the curricula and standards that teachers are expected to use in their classrooms. They may also train teachers, analyze student data to create an effective curriculum, evaluate teacher performance and recommend educational technologies.
Postsecondary education administrators oversee specific operations at community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and technical and trade schools. They may focus on areas like admissions, student affairs, the registrar's office or faculty research. Tasks might include creating promotional materials, planning graduation ceremonies, scheduling sporting events or reviewing prospective student applications.
Instructional technology specialists facilitate the acquisition of technology in the classroom by evaluating technology needs, choosing technologies that complement a course's curriculum and ensuring educators use them effectively. Instructional technology specialists must also know how different student populations adapt to technology, from special education students to advanced learners.
Successful educators consider developmental factors that impact learning when designing age-appropriate courses. Online master's degrees in education emphasize mental, physical, emotional and social development across several age groups.
Whether students aspire to teach English, science or mathematics, there are specific methodologies they need to tackle those subjects effectively. Online graduate degrees in education teach subject-focused instructional and assessment techniques.
Teachers must create and maintain a positive classroom experience for students of various races, cultures, academic abilities and temperaments. Skills that contribute to this include the ability to effectively discipline students, keep class records, communicate with parents and update lesson plans according to student needs.
Educators who want to contribute to the knowledge base of the field must understand how qualitative and quantitative research methods work, and how to conduct research studies from the conception to completion.
The following organizations provide additional information about the field and educator support services.
School administrators have been represented by this association since 1866.The group helps school leaders by providing public policy support, leadership development programs, and professional certifications.

CYCLISTS THRONG TO MOUNT DORA BICYCLE FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND
The countdown has begun. This Friday cyclists will descend on downtown Mount Dora as the state's longest-running cycling event begins. In just two short years, Mount Dora Bicycle Festival transformed from a withering event to a vibrant festival attracting cyclists from across the state and country.
The difference has been the passion and hard work of its energized organizers. At time of publication 1249 riders were already pre-registered and 1500 riders are expected at the three-day event that kicks off October 7, according to Tracy Draper, the event's chairperson.
Draper, an avid cyclist, and her committee have succeeded in turning the festival into one of Florida's premier cycling events with riders traveling from as far as South America.
The festival's scenic courses range from 11 miles for novices to the 103-mile Countryside Century ride. The most grueling route is the Sugarloaf Extension on Sunday. Die-hards will pedal through the new "Back 2 Back Century Challenge" accomplishing 102 miles on Friday and 103 miles on Saturday.
To keep the festival fresh, three new routes have been added, and route concierges, drawn from the pool of local cyclists, will be on hand to answer riders' questions about specific routes, terrain, traffic issues and relative difficulty.
Once out of their saddles, riders will find an abundance of activities. Thursday and Friday nights feature wine tasting, while Saturday activities include a pasta lunch, beer garden, contests, food trucks, a vendor village and music in Sunset Park. Festival-goers also spill into downtown restaurants, shops and bars, many of which offer discounts to riders wearing festival wristbands. Sunday the festival hosts "Giveaway Day" in the park.
The Mount Dora Bicycle Festival distinguishes itself by its terrain, as well as the charm of the town and its value pricing. Attendees can get multi-day pricing that breaks down to about $34 per day. The festival swag includes medals for finishers and long-sleeved event T-shirts for registrants. Registrations is at the former Chef's Pantry building at 322 N. Alexander Street across from Sunset Park.

Study: Earth warmed faster in the last few decades than the previous 1,900 years

By Deborah Netburn Los Angeles Times
It's not just humans who track long-term trends in the weather. The history of our planet's climate is recorded by nature herself – written in tree rings and arctic ices, corals and deep ocean sediments.
Each of these records tell only a small piece of the Earth's climate story, but together they form a sprawling and complex novel of the past, helping scientists better understand how and why certain trends emerged, and foreshadowing what we might expect the Earth's climate to look like in the future.
In 2017 an international consortium known as PAGES (Past Global Changes) published its largest database yet of climate temperature records, stretching from the present day back 2,000 years, by the start of the Common Era.
The data points were recorded by trees, ice, lake and ocean sediment, and mineral deposits in caves, as well as by humans. They come from 648 locations across the globe, including all the continents and major ocean basins.
Scientists have only just begun to mine the PAGES data for insights into trends of the past, but already they have made some intriguing discoveries.
After analyzing 2,000 years of detailed records kept by both nature and humans, researchers have discovered that the average surface temperature of the Earth has warmed faster in the past few decades than it did in the previous 1,900 years, proving once again that the current warming the planet is experiencing is unprecedented in the past two millenniums. What's more, the data also suggest that the warming in the most recent decades has been uniform across all regions of the planet, a phenomenon that scientists say has not been seen in the past 2000 years.
A third study based on the same data shows that for most of the Common Era volcanic events have been the primary driver of global temperature change. Today, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere play a more dominant role in driving global temperature, the authors said.
Raphael Neukom, a paleoclimatologist at the University of Bern in Switzerland who led two of the three studies said the trio of papers, published Wednesday in the journals Nature and Nature Geoscience, all suggest the same thing: "Climate variability in the pre-industrial period is totally different from what we observe today."
Some of the findings reported Wednesday contradict, or at least complicate, previously held truths.
For example, in the Nature paper, Neukom and his colleagues use the PAGES data to poke holes in the widely accepted theory that periods of cooling and warming over the past 2000 years affected the globe uniformly. Perhaps the most well known of these epochs is what scientists call the Little Ice Age – a cool period that persisted from the 16th century to the 19th century. Similarly, the Medieval Climate Anomaly is known as a warm, dry period that lasted from AD 950 to 1250.
"The traditional understanding was that climate over these periods were globally coherent" said Nathan Steiger, a paleoclimatologist at Columbia University in New York who worked on the paper. "But when we looked at the PAGES data, we found they are not as coherent as we thought."
After analyzing the data using multiple statistical methods, the authors found that what were previously assumed to be global trends in temperature were actually regional trends for all known climate epochs except the one we find ourselves in today.
For example, while the Little Ice Age did represent a global cooling, some parts of the planet were coldest during the mid-19th century, while others had their coldest weather several centuries earlier. At the height of the Medieval Climate Anomaly, only 40% of the Earth experienced peak temperatures at the same time.
But when the authors ran the same analysis for our current climatic epoch, known as the Contemporary Warm Period, they found that peak temperatures have been seen across all regions of the globe except Antarctica within the past 51 years.
This uniformity was unprecedented in the past 2000 years.
"The familiar maxim that climate is always changing is certainly true," wrote Scott St. George, a geographer at the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis who was not involved in the work. "But even when we push our perspective back to the Roman Empire, we cannot discern any event that is remotely equivalent . to the warming over the past few decades."
The authors did not look into what might be causing this unique phenomenon, because, as Steiger said, it wasn't necessary.
"There is a lot of evidence that the Contemporary Warming Period is human caused," he said. "We don't need the paleolithic climate data to address that."
In another study, a team of researchers led by Stefan Bronnimann of the University of Bern in Switzerland used the PAGES data to explore the causes of climate fluctuations from 1300 to 1800. This analysis led them to conclude that in this time period a cluster of volcanic eruptions were the primary drivers of global temperature change and that their effects lingered over many decades.
(Large volcanic eruptions can cause wide-scale cooling because their ash gets into the stratosphere and reflects sunlight back into space.)
They argue that at least some of the global temperature increases the Earth experienced starting in the 1830s were probably due to the planet's slow recovery from the volcanically induced cooling. However, the data also suggest that from the late 19th and early 20th century onward, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere dominated the subsequent warming trend.
Today, there is little doubt among scientists as to how those greenhouse gases got into our atmosphere.
