Senior Executive Team Assessment
Among the most important priorities for investors once a deal has been executed is ensuring that their management teams are optimally equipped, organized and aligned to achieve the strategic objectives of the business. Serving as a complement to the due diligence process, a psychologically based assessment provides investors with critical insights into the dynamics and individual and collective capabilities of the management team. This assessment includes full discovery of the executive competencies required to drive future direction and evaluation of the existing team’s capabilities to determine alignment, uncover strengths and potential voids. The data gleaned from the assessment provides investors with a comprehensive view of the existing management team, arming them with the necessary insight to proactively address leadership issues, zero in on the most critical areas for development and heighten the team’s ability to drive business strategy and deliver economic objectives.
