360 DD is a critical component in a successful acquisition process. Many companies have “skeletons in the closet” and usually try to hide these when they are being acquired.

 

The 360 DD is based on a number of experts in complementary areas: Operations, Information Systems, Human resources (including Company Culture, Management etc.), Technology, Finance, Marketing, Legal, etc.

 

Each of them reviews the candidate company from his / her unique angle. Then they all interact and share their angles to create one coherent picture. This 360 DD process allows to lower risk and make wiser acquisition (and negotiations) decisions.
