\r\n Investments can only be steered if their figures are reliable \u2013 and the processes behind them are understood. Classic financial due diligence examines the figures. It says little about how mature processes, systems and organisation really are. <\/p>\r\n

\r\n This is exactly where our K\u00b2 Readiness methodology comes in: as a structured assessment before the investment and as a management tool afterwards. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Blind spot in due diligence <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Process, system and organisational maturity is rarely assessed in a structured way. Risks that only become visible after closing often concern exactly this level. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Instability in the first months after acquisition <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Closings are delayed, liquidity forecasts deviate, key people leave the company. The investment ties up attention instead of delivering. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Inconsistent structures across the portfolio <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Different charts of accounts, reporting standards and system landscapes make comparisons between portfolio companies difficult and consolidated statements laborious. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Dependence on local management <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Figures come from the company itself and can only be checked for plausibility or cross-checked to a limited extent. A lack of traceability down to account level limits the ability to steer. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Carve-outs without standalone capability <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Carved-out units often lack their own accounting, costing and closing capability. Building these is under time pressure and rarely fully planned. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

\r\n Value creation without a roadmap <\/h5>\r\n

\r\n Potential is known but not prioritised, scheduled and assigned to owners. Measures run in parallel without their impact becoming measurable. <\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\n\n
