What is a Due Diligence?

HB NEXT consultants conduct a third-party in-depth analysis:

  • To provide insights and expert advice so our clients can vet companies pre- and post-acquisition.
  • To provide an action plan for business leaders and companies wanting to strengthen or cultivate a safety culture.

How do we do it?

We conduct on-location discovery meetings and audits to learn more about the team and daily operations. This experiential process aggregates artifacts, evaluates data and insights, observes culture, and provides an in-depth readout with recommendations for stakeholders.
