The success of a participation in a business venture depends to 70% on the human factor*

  • In capital investment putting from the start the right people at the right places is crucial: problems with human resources are the most expensive and appear always too late
  • To get people together around a common task the chemistry has to be right: most break-ups are due to personal reasons
  • The rate of action is a frequent topic of dissent within the board of directors
  • A participation can be saved from a recruiting error or from an error of analysis by a talented leader

Assessment and Due diligence expertises are used to evaluate factors as technology and finance… but little to evaluate the human element

  • The analysis of a leader's track record isn’t valid for a risk-potential evaluation. Previous performances don’t determine future success: the efficiency of a leader depends much on context
  • Risk-potential analysis of a leader must be attractive and differentiating to attract the best. It needs to be constructed in a way to be transmissible and to neutralize personal filters (to objectify subjectivity) and to federate the pool of investors around the leader. It has to be respectful of the diversity and complexity of the individual to be... efficient
