BUILDING, ACQUIRING, OR INVESTING INVOLVES RISK

Some risks are obvious.  Others may be harder to spot. Sometimes a trigger event like a proposed merger, or even a potential acquirer doing due diligence on your company may trigger a series of potential risks you’ve never had to consider. 

 

Chances are your risk analysis used to center around cash flow, competition, and losing key customers or staff. Perhaps you’ve grown, or the environment has shifted, and you may have to consider risks such as government policy, regulation, stakeholder relationships, reputation, market dynamics, political environments, corporate structures, or the assumptions behind a transaction.

 

Convergent Strategies helps entrepreneurs, investors, and venture capital firms identify and manage those risks before they become expensive problems – and uncover opportunities that can increase the likelihood of success.

 

With more than 20 years of experience spanning government, corporate affairs, government relations, and complex stakeholder environments, Convergent brings a perspective that goes well beyond traditional business consulting.

 

Convergent looks at the enterprise from the outside in – and asks the questions that others may not be asking.

SEE THE RISKS OTHERS DON'T

​

A great business can still fail because of factors that have little to do with the quality of its product, service or leadership.

​

Regulatory changes.
Government decisions.
Political risk.
Stakeholder opposition.
Reputational exposure.
Unanticipated liabilities.
Poorly understood markets.
Weak relationships.
Deal assumptions that don't withstand scrutiny.

 

The earlier these risks are identified, the more options you have to address them.

Convergent can help clients understand the environment surrounding an enterprise, identify potential threats and opportunities, and develop practical strategies to protect and enhance value.
