Title: Commercial due diligence: strategic groundwork for long-term growth
Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2025
Time: 3:00 – 3:40 PM ET
Moderator:
Matt Busch, SVP Private Equity, INSIGHT2PROFIT
Details:
- In an era of constant disruption — from pandemics and supply chain breakdowns to inflation, destocking, and shifting trade policies — yesterday’s commercial due diligence can be obsolete by tomorrow. How are buyers today, building confidence that price volume and margin projections are dynamic and can withstand change?
- How can scenario planning – across downside, base, and upside cases – better account for shifting market dynamics and competitive forces?
- What does a hypothesis‑driven approach to diligence look like, and how can it identify the critical levers that will determine deal success or failure?
- How can commercial diligence be directly linked to post‑deal value creation, starting from Day 1 of the buy‑side process?
- How can we move from raw data to actionable conviction faster — and how might generative AI speed insights while surfacing hidden risks?
