Who We Are

The velocity, scope and systems impact of the unprecedented digital technological breakthroughs we are experiencing with the emergence of 4th industrial revolution means that all companies must continually Re-think Operations.  To achieve this you need a strong, independent partner by your side to walk with you during this era of extraordinary change and development.

 

Due Diligence Partners (DDP), a boutique African based operations advisory and consulting firm, was founded to help financial and strategic investors, corporate finance advisors and middle market companies, respectively, address deep-seated operational challenges and thereby turn their operations into competitive advantages and engines for growth.

 

Leveraging its real-world experience, DDP works with clients across most industries to minimize risk, enhance margins, reduce working capital and thereby improve overall shareholder value. Our team of professionals have extensive industry, functional, management and advisory experience having implemented operational best practices at some of the most respected companies in Africa’s and across the world.

Our consulting services focus on helping clients in five key areas:

  • M&A / Private Equity
    We provide deep subject matter expertise in an advisory capacity to help investors focused across Africa execute critical operational due diligence and post-merger integration activities to reduce risk and drive EBITDA expansion.
  • Operations Performance and Improvement
    We help clients address the complex issues that can often erode operational performance in areas including manufacturing, supply chain and digital infrastructures amongst others and can often see potential that is hidden to the financial and commercial due diligence teams.
  • Business Re-organization and Restructuring
    We partner with clients to identify key strength and weaknesses in their operational and functional business models and processes that will fundamentally help restructure companies experiencing financial distress or weakness return to their glory.
  • Strategic Operations Deep-Dives
    We work with management teams on short-to-long-term assignments to address and fix truly systemic operational challenges.  We help companies implement quantifiable changes to their operational infrastructure driving real efficiencies, yields, cost reductions, customer satisfaction and enhancing a company’s overall competitiveness.
  • Interim COO / Operational Management
    Our range of skill-sets allow us to provide companies and investors with Interim, Fractional and Project-based COO and operational management leadership support services. Together we can walk you and organisation through any transition period as well as helping to resolve any specific challenge you may face by injecting new sets of operational skills and fresh perspectives.
