Create a structured evaluation process

There are a lot of moving parts involved in due diligence, a well-defined process and structure play a critical role in maintaining efficiency and impact. An effective way to structure the due diligence process, as explained in this Inova webinar, is to use themes and subthemes for each functional area to guide their experts.

Each theme is rated against an internal standard. For example, if the partner says the asset is Phase II ready, the experts will evaluate whether it fits their company’s standard for a Phase II ready asset.
