Managerial due diligence
Identifying risks of failure
Our Managerial due diligence process leverages the Harrison Assessment method, a robust tool designed specifically for professional environments. This assessment not only evaluates personality but also analyses behavioural preferences and their direct impact on workplace performance.
Through this approach, we uncover the strengths and areas of concern for individuals in relation to their roles, assess their ability to position themselves for success, and identify top talent to achieve optimal performance.
Our assessment process
The individual assessment begins with an online questionnaire, followed by a comprehensive report and a detailed debriefing session. This process provides critical insights into work preferences and behavioural dynamics, offering essential guidance to align talents with the strategic objectives of the organisation.
One unique aspect of this approach is its focus on the paradoxical nature of personality traits, highlighting how seemingly contradictory behaviours can coexist and interact to influence professional performance. By understanding these nuances, we gain a deeper perspective on individual behaviour in a business context.
After completing a thorough assessment of management teams during the due diligence phase, we provide a detailed report outlining key issues, such as leadership gaps, communication breakdowns, dysfunctions in decision-making, unresolved conflicts, or misalignment between leadership and company strategy. This critical insight informs the final decision-making process regarding the viability of an investment.
Our reports also include tailored recommendations and potential development pathways through customised executive coaching, should the investment proceed.
As part of a family investment office, we conduct managerial evaluations during due diligence processes, particularly for acquisitions and investments.
Using tools like the Harrison Assessment, we assess the skills, motivations, and strategic vision of management teams, providing investors with a clearer understanding of leadership strengths and risks. This analysis helps secure investments and ensures successful integration.
A notable example includes a comprehensive evaluation of the leadership team of a European tech company, followed by post-acquisition recommendations to enhance collaboration and leadership effectiveness.
