OPERATIONAL DILIGENCE WORKSHOP
2-day intensive presented by Tim Van Mieghem, Author of “Shocking Profit”
Date: September 23 & 24, 2026
Uncover Hidden Value the Seller Doesn’t See
and the risks they don't expose
Most PE firms conduct diligence on the numbers, but not on how the company actually runs, where risk hides, and upside lives. Why?​
-
They don’t want to kill the deal.
-
They underwrite the deal on growth, not cost cutting.
-
They think it won’t help.
-
Diligence fatigue and extra work.
-
They don’t want to upset people.
This workshop will reveal how to turn every one of these obstacles on its head.
