Assessing and improving management effectiveness

 

About Us

 

Over the last 35 years Diligencia has developed a proven approach to assessing and improving the performance of management teams.  This approach, the Diligencia Process, is used to carry out management due diligence (MDD) reviews on behalf of leadership teams, lenders and investors. It has been shared and adopted by banks and investment businesses for their own use in supporting funding decisions.
