Perfect data rarely exists, especially when little time exists to gather it. We are accustomed to mobilizing at a moment’s notice using creative methods to find the data we need: site visits, customer intercepts, consumer surveys, associate interviews, shelf space observations, expert interviews, etc.
Once the diligence process is complete our clients have a much better sense of the risks and opportunities that the target faces; the management team can then create a more informed and strategic 100-day plan.
