Govern the whole portfolio without running every portco’s team
Operating partners want one offshore standard across the portfolio without taking over day-to-day hiring at every portco. This guide gives them a two-layer model: the five things the sponsor sets at every portco (security baseline, data access, KPI definitions, reporting cadence, change-of-control terms) and the four things each portco keeps (roles, tools, culture, daily direction).
