Welcome to the Journey to Great Diligence

Principles

Welcome to the Diligence File website the place for ideas, strategy and resources for transforming your organization’s diligence practices.

The Challenge

There is an avalanche of aspirations, good practices and requirements that are part of the life of any business – small or large. All of these needs are in addition to the day to day operations of the business.

You are probably finding that your organization is busy with:

  • mission adherence
  • business goals
  • legal and compliance requirements
  • reputational risk
  • protecting against fraud, criminal advances and cyber threats

How do you cope? How do you reduce the risk to the organization and the people that work for and with the organization. How do you prevent a financial, regulatory or reputational hit when you have so much to do and so many topics to cover?

How do you do all of this if you don’t have a large organization or the budget for staff, sophisticated technology or outside professionals?

The Answer – Diligence

All of the needs listed above have something in common — DILIGENCE.

The likelihood that you will comply with a regulation, meet your business targets, produce products and services that sell all while avoiding undue risk and just staying out of trouble are immensely improved if the organization is performing effective and efficient diligence.

An organization that embeds diligence into its operations, requires diligence from its people and rewards diligent behavior is an organization that has an advantage.

Diligence is Power

Diligence provides clarity. You use that clarity to weigh your options, assess your risks, make your choices. The clarity that you achieve by doing great diligence is powerful knowledge.

An organization that operates with diligence is an organization with power.

The Diligent Organization

Any size organization can be a diligent organization. A diligent organization is an organization that:

  • Defines
  • Communicates
  • Educates
  • Promotes
  • Supports
  • Rewards
  • Requires

diligence and diligent behavior through all levels, roles and responsibilities in the organization.

A diligent organization also recognizes that outside parties, technologies and other influences have a responsibility to follow the organization’s diligence requirements if they want to be associated with the organization.
