Alpha Talks: Private Equity’s Most Challenging Moment? | Ueli Eckhardt, Partner at eevolve

Measuring organizational performance is difficult, especially in a way that is both systematic and genuinely useful for decision-making.

In a recent Alpha Talks conversation, Ueli Eckhardt, Partner at eevolve, shared what stood out to him when working with Humatica on portfolio companies.

From day one, the focus was clear: build a structured understanding of what really drives value and risk inside an organization. That meant defining the key behavioral drivers, creating a consistent framework to assess them, and grounding it all in a unique data set built from analysing more than 250 companies over the years.

But what Ueli emphasized most was that the data is only half the story. The social and human dynamics inside teams – how people work, decide, and collaborate – play an equally critical role in shaping performance.

In this episode of Humatica’s Alpha Talks, Ueli discusses how he and his team:

• Use behavioral insights to identify true performance drivers
• Apply a systematic method across diverse portfolio companies
• Combine analytics with on-the-ground understanding
• Create value by improving how people work together
