Rapid, non-invasive leadership insights
Your leadership team is one of the most important factors in the success of your investment.
And yet it’s the least understood.
If you’re investing in a company, then the leadership due diligence process isn’t simply a tick box exercise.
Leadership due diligence for investors is a critical step to identify crucial information about your prospect and understand the value and potential for a top quartile exit.
Leadership Assessment
But how can you get a real picture of the leadership team’s strengths and weaknesses before you have even met the team? We have the answer.
We offer a unique leadership team assessment solution that provides critical insights from the outside-in, without direct engagement with a target leadership team. You can directly benchmark against the very best PE backed companies across the globe, and then deliver a plan for the optimisation of that organisation’s leadership team.
We can do this at arms-length, through our Leadership Scan, giving you rapid insights about a leadership team’s strengths, risks and readiness, ensuring you know the functional, industry and value creation capabilities of a team pre-deal, before a commitment is made to them.
Our insights empower investors with the data needed to make confident decisions, so you can rapidly assess and capture the best opportunities, while mitigating the risks associated with a potential investment.
Leadership Due Diligence
The leadership team represents one of your biggest levers for value creation. Our Leadership Scan, powered by Leadership Dynamics, our proprietary analytics platform, accelerates performance by giving you crucial insights into your potential investment target, making it critical part of the deal assessment process.
Comprehensive Leadership Analytics: Identify leadership strengths and risks early in the deal process, without direct engagement with the team.
Data-driven, objective insights: deliver actionable insights to enhance decision making, mitigate risks, and arm funds with the confidence to make more informed investment decisions.
Investor-focused: our reports offer an unbiased view of a team’s capability to execute a value-creation hypothesis, giving you clarity, a strategic edge, and arming you with the right questions to take to a leadership team.
The Leadership Scan report can be used throughout the deal process to:
Refine your understanding of how well a team is set-up to create value from day-one
De-risk your decision making
Add weight to your due-diligence
Develop insightful questions to probe the leadership team
Build an early plan as to how to optimise the leadership team, post-investment.
Peer comparison
It’s teams, not individual leaders, that give the most successful organisations the edge. But to optimise your team, you need to understand where the gaps and development opportunities are. Our individual and group peer comparison gives you an enriched picture of complementarity across your team.
Benchmark a team against the most successful organisations in any given market.
Tell a clear and consistent story, backed with evidence and insight, helping investors and management teams navigate critical leadership decisions.
Gain detail and analysis that gives you the confidence and evidence you need to invest, as well as a clear plan for post investment.
Get a full picture of the value potential of your management team, even if they are relatively new in post.
Articulate the leadership capital within the team and demonstrate sustainable and credible leadership capability for the next investor, pre-exit.
The result?
Your leadership diligence will give you a clear understanding of changes that need to be made and areas that need to be developed early on in the investment cycle, saving time and cost by making better decisions, faster.
