Utilizing behavioral due diligence is like holding the ultimate trump card, providing equity investment groups with unparalleled insights into the true potential of the teams they invest in.
To achieve success in this fast-paced game, an equity firm must master the following critical aspects, and behavioral due diligence can play a vital role in setting them up for victory:

With behavioral due diligence, any equity firm can see beyond superficial appearances and unlock the hidden dynamics that drive a team’s success, ensuring they back the true champions in the race.
• Minimizing risks: Every gamble comes with inherent risks, but an equity investment firm can better understand and mitigate potential pitfalls with behavioral due diligence. By unveiling red flags early on, they can adjust their strategy and avoid costly missteps, keeping their hand strong throughout the game.
• Maximizing returns: To come out on top, an equity investment firm must ensure its investments yield the highest possible returns. By utilizing behavioral due diligence to identify high-performing teams, they can increase the odds of successful exits and boost their winnings.
• Outsmarting the competition: In the cutthroat world of venture capital, having an edge over rival firms can be the difference between victory and defeat. By incorporating behavioral due diligence into their investment strategy, a VC firm can gain a competitive advantage, positioning themselves as innovative players.
• Building a winning reputation: Success breeds success, and any equity firm that consistently backs winning teams will attract the best deals, partners, and entrepreneurs.

By wielding this secret weapon, equity investment firms can enhance their ability to identify winning teams, minimize risks, maximize returns, outsmart the competition, and build a formidable reputation, ultimately securing their place at the top of the leaderboard.
Most assessments are one dimensional and framed as a personal internal assessment of skills or emotions.
BASIS has that element but is uniquely focused on how people behave in a work environment and factors in how they behave under changing and stressful circumstances that are unavoidable in a business environment.
Every team is different and there is no one-size-fits-all assessment or process.
Our approach diverges from the DIY aspect of most programs and focuses on the composition of each unique team.
Ultimately the culture a team has is one that changes from event to event. Know your people to ensure long term success.
Beyond assessments, the way in which a team is coached and guided through every challenge is the secret sauce to success.
Communications, procedures, expectations and accountability planning are all critical in executing a corporate playbook.
Your competition has a plan and operating without one is a recipe for disaster.
Over and over we have been told that humans can’t be predicted. The status quo of human resources is to attempt to control behavior in order to maximize productivity. Even with the best of intentions to build inclusive cultures, these systems fail to consider how human capital actually works, at work.
For more than 20 years, Authentum has worked with a wide range of companies to help assess and implement programs that break the status quo and provide a framework to go beyond the normal operations manual. This challenge happens at every level of leadership and requires expertise, patience and belief. Our program has been designed to take that effort off of your plate and open up a world of opportunity that wasn’t visible before.
