Ensure the foundation for your high performance portfolio
Why do I need a cultural Due Diligence?
Companies that live and breathe a strong and functional culture outperform their peers, leading to higher revenue, more profitability and thus create higher shareholder returns.
Better bottom line
Higher levels of productivity and innovation combined with lower hiring and retention costs ultimately benefit the revenue growth rate by up to 14%-points and the net income growth rate by 21%-points.
Better hiring and retention
Companies with strong culture experience up to 51% less turnover and employees are 4.5x more likely to recommend their employer.
Higher quality
When employees trust their employer, they work harder, contribute more, and deliver +30% in quality with 63% less safety incidents.
Increased productivity
Companies offering a psychologically safe and healthy work environment, see up to 89% less sick days and up to 17% higher productivity.
A standardized process to uncover both red flags as well as creating a roadmap to cultural excellence.
Like any other due diligence, we examine the company’s current state and objectify company culture. The process takes around six weeks.
What are the steps involved?
Request for information
We request value and culture-related documents, look for HR-related KPIs and ask a DD questionnaire to be answered.
Preparation for interviews
We assess the information provided, conduct research, create a hypothesis, and prepare thought provoking questions to validate written answers.
Conduct Interviews
We conduct standardised video-interviews with the management, departmental leaders or frontline managers.
Create Diagnostic Report
We report red flags, analyze company values, day-to-day behaviors, highlight cultural voids and deliver a roadmap to cultural excellence.
Made for both equity investments and acquisitions
While growth investments and acquisitions are vastly different, the process of analysing company culture is the same. The only difference is, that
in an equity investment case we analyse one company, compare against best practices and consult on a roadmap to cultural excellence.
in an M&A situation we analyse both cultures and focus on cultural commonalities or explosives and consult on a roadmap to integration excellence.
