Due Diligence
You have accountability, responsibility and an obligation to your clients to act with due diligence in all the work that you undertake. You have a right to expect the same from those that you entrust with that business - whether they are employees, suppliers, contractors, colleagues or business partners.
Are you confident of being able to deliver to deadlines and to financial budgets or are you experiencing problems due to another's lack of industry?
Do you manage from a distance?
Are you office bound, with employees that necessarily spend a high proportion of their time on the road?
Are they applying their usual vigour, energy and dynamism to their work or have you noticed a change?
Competitor Profiling
Knowledge and information about potential markets is important, but equally important is to know as much as you can about your competitors.
Having worked hard to gain competitive advantage you will want to keep it. It can be time consuming and often difficult to find out the true and most up to date picture about your business rivals. You need to know how to compete with them in an environment of healthy competition or if an unfair advantage exists.
You understand your market and what will give you competitive advantage in your product or service area. Having developed something unique that gives you that advantage you immediately become vulnerable, the opportunist and speculator will be ready to imitate your product - usually with inferior copies, or to take advantage of confidential strategic information, illegally gained. The potential to damage your good standing and balance sheet can be alarmingly easy in this age of micro technology.
Employee Theft
Internal theft and pilfering by those placed in positions of responsibility and trust, to act in an honest and trustworthy manner, is particularly disagreeable. We all pay in the long term for other people's dishonesty. In the High Street and in our personal lives this may be through the increased prices that we pay for goods and for insurance services. However, there is only so much that can be built into a costing structure in order to stay competitive.
Employee Surveillance & Misconduct
You seek the reassurance of the truth and need to be in full possession of the facts in order to make an informed decision; this can apply equally to both professional and private lives, with simply the circumstances and outcomes being different.
The thought of surveillance may seem distasteful to some commercial enterprises and to some individuals, but it can often be the most appropriate course of action in sensitive situations. In order to verify information you need an independent and unbiased report, using a reliable and professional source. At Insight we can help, by carrying out professional surveillance and by providing you with fully detailed authenticated reports backed up, if necessary and where possible, by video, photographic or audio evidence. We can also act on your behalf as professional witnesses to support you and your clients through the process of law.
