Most business failures can be traced back to weak or rushed due diligence, and that gap often turns into costly business risk. When the stakes are high, whether you are hiring a key leader, buying a company, or entering new partnerships, how do you really know what you are agreeing to? What signs should you pay attention to, and what details are easy to miss?
In this episode, Maartje van Krieken talks about the risks that come when leaders treat due diligence as an afterthought. She shares clear numbers that show how often deals fall apart and brings those numbers to life with real stories, from a merger that exposed hidden problems to a so-called star hire who never even left his old job.
Maartje also offers a five-part framework to help leaders focus: define what success should look like, admit what you do not know, look for the dirty laundry, clear out bias, and set exit options before you need them. These steps will not catch every problem, but they will help you avoid unnecessary risk and build partnerships that can stand the test of time.
