Michel Brekelmans is the founder and managing Director of SCP/Asia, a boutique strategy consulting firm based in Singapore.
In Asia’s evolving private equity landscape, the companies that emerge stronger won’t be those with the most patient shareholders or the most stubborn management teams — they will be the ones that master the art of strategic agility without losing operational discipline. The winners will not be the ones locked in perpetual negotiations but those who forge true alignment through partnership frameworks built for adaptation.
