The Due Diligence Private Equity Still Gets Wrong: Human Capital
Most due diligences can slice the numbers a thousand ways. Markets, models, margins – all dissected surgical precision. But the one factor that decides whether any of it turns into performance — the people expected to deliver — is still often checked last, or lightly, or not at all.
Here’s the quiet contradiction in private equity: Financial DD predicts potential. Human Capital DD predicts reality. And the gap between the two is where value is most often lost.
The due diligence that private equity still underestimates: human capital
In private equity, financial and commercial due diligence primarily analyse potential. However, whether this potential is realised is decided solely by the organisation that is to implement it. Human capital due diligence reveals whether leadership, roles and culture are actually capable of delivering value enhancement plans – or whether this is precisely where the latest and most expensive loss of value occurs.
