Leadership Due Diligence: Are the Leaders Fit to Lead?

Business Challenge: The ability to leverage top internal leadership talent to maximize results in target (to be acquired) companies is reduced by the lack of rapid and robust methodologies to assess leaders' individual and collective skills that best fit the required business context and capture their knowledge of industry, organization, and culture.

Solution: Leadership Due Diligence: Are the Leaders Fit to Lead?

This assessment methodology helps clients make informed decisions about top leadership roles, to diagnose the organization's strength to support effective leadership, and to set a forceful agenda for the new executive team. The methodology could be effectively applied during the due diligence process or for the existing portfolio companies.

Due Diligence:

• A rapid assessment of individual leadership skills aimed to enable the CEO of a target company to, from the early stages of due diligence, start building a strong leadership team equipped with skills that best fit the new business context (turnaround, organic growth, or acquisitions). This assessment methodology proceeds in phases following the acquisition process (pre-diligence; full due diligence; and pre-closing) providing critical data at each phase. The results are ready in 2-4 days. These results can serve as a baseline to grow the leaders and regularly evaluate their performance after the acquisition is completed.

Portfolio Companies:

• A regular assessment of leaders' effectiveness in a new business context is a critical aspect of monitoring a company's performance. This methodology enables the business owners and boards to, on an ongoing basis, gain an insight into leadership strengths and developmental needs. These results can shed an important light on performance trends as well as implementation challenges.

A robust set of proprietary algorithms are employed to underscore individual leadership capabilities and highlight differences across leaders.

Target Clients: private equity groups, hedge funds, or corporations that acquire businesses and aim to maximize their performance and value.
