Potential Assessement & Operations Due Diligence

Dr. Thomas Klevers
Managing Director GEPRO, Head of Advisory Board

How is your company positioned for the future? Where is there potential for improvement? Which areas should be addressed and in what order? Which changes are necessary to achieve which improvements, also and above all in terms of resource availability? What are the levers for sustainable, economic success?

These questions arise situationally: for takeovers, for financing, but particularly for key questions about the future direction. To answer these questions, we assess the current status of your company's processes and organization and work out the potential for value enhancement, starting points for improvements and risks in your company's operational business processes. Supply chain, production, logistics and engineering are the focus of our analyses.

In times of rapidly changing conditions, the question often arises as to where changes within the company should begin. Attempting to address "everything at once" usually fails due to limited resources, and even with external support, it is not effective to try to move all levers simultaneously. Often, the degrees of freedom are either unknown or inadequately understood, and there is a risk of altering factors that do not lead to sustainable success as desired.

Together with your employees, we identify the appropriate levers and the order in which they can be addressed. To do this, we first analyze the current state, value enhancement potentials, and risks of the company's operational business processes. We conduct an "Operational Due Diligence", which is a detailed assessment of the company's technical, operational, and organizational performance. Additionally, we examine the design and execution of business processes, including the software ecosystem in use, as well as the production, logistics, and supply chain management sectors in terms of equipment, resource utilization, and modernization needs.

Based on this analysis, we determine the factors influencing sustainable improvement and develop a detailed action plan. This plan is aligned with the capabilities and resources of your company.

Leverage the detailed insights gained during the due diligence process to ensure the future viability of your company. We also successfully use this approach to support the decision-making-process in financing discussions, M&A activities, and to prepare for operational value enhancement post-closing.

Based on this, we identify the levers for sustainable and successful improvement, and develop a detailed action plan. This plan is tailored to the capabilities and resources of your company.

Utilize the additional insights gained from this form of due diligence, to establish measures for securing the future of your company. We also successfully employ this approach to support decision-making in financing discussions, M&A activities, and the preparation for operational value enhancement post-closing.
