Human Due Diligence

Difficulties at senior management level occur regularly in business and organisations. Core provides high value strategic support for leaders and decision-makers who wish to avoid or manage these difficulties.

In particular, we offer the opportunity to undertake "human due diligence" when putting together partnerships, joint ventures and other collaborations where early discussion of objectives, aspirations, hopes, concerns, interests, potential stumbling blocks and individual needs may lead to better mutual understanding – and avoid unforeseen difficulties down the line.

We will meet with the key players in order to facilitate conversations around these issues, over half a day or a full day, with any follow up that is helpful. 

"Human due diligence is every bit as important as financial due diligence… every deal will succeed or fail based on the collective efforts of the individuals who make it up." David Harding (Bain & Co)
