SEEING BEYOND THE SPREADSHEET
Operational Due Diligence
Traditional due diligence focuses on financial metrics, market positioning, and legal risks—but often overlooks the operational realities that determine long-term success. Spreadsheets can’t reveal how teams collaborate, whether leadership aligns with company culture, or if processes are robust enough to scale.
Operational inefficiencies, cultural dysfunction, or skill gaps in critical roles can derail even the most promising acquisitions or investments. These issues hide in plain sight: teams working around broken processes, mid-level managers lacking authority to execute strategy, or departments hoarding information instead of collaborating.
Without understanding how a business operates day-to-day, you risk inheriting costly surprises post-transaction.
Why Operational Due Diligence Matters
Financial health and market potential are only part of the story. Operational due diligence helps you:
● Avoid hidden liabilities: A company may hit revenue targets but rely on unsustainable workarounds or demoralized teams.● Assess cultural fit: Misaligned values between leadership and employees erode trust and productivity over time.● Validate scalability: Outdated workflows or underqualified personnel often crumble under growth pressures.● Uncover talent risks: Key roles filled by employees nearing retirement or lacking critical skills threaten continuity.
This isn’t only about finding flaws but about ensuring the business can deliver on its promises.
Our Approach: Operational Due Diligence that goes deeper
We go beyond financial audits and compliance checklists to evaluate how a company actually operates. Our process includes:
● Workflow Analysis: How do teams turn inputs into outputs? Are processes documented and followed, or do employees rely on tribal knowledge?● Cultural Assessment: Does leadership’s vision align with frontline execution? Are there silos, distrust, or resistance to change?● Talent Evaluation: Do key roles have the skills to meet future demands? Is there a succession plan, or does institutional knowledge walk out the door daily?● Quality & Compliance: Are products/services delivered consistently to industry standards? Are shortcuts creating regulatory or reputational risks?● Technology & Tools: Do systems support efficient workflows, or do employees waste time on manual workarounds?
Unlike traditional due diligence, we focus on the human and operational drivers behind the numbers.
What sets us apart?
● We ask “how,” not just “what”: Financial data tells you what happened; we explain how it happened and whether it’s repeatable.● We prioritize execution risk: A brilliant strategy means little if teams lack the tools, skills, or culture to execute it.● We focus on fixability: Not all red flags are dealbreakers. We assess which issues can be resolved post-transaction and at what cost.
