Cansulta for Investors
Elevate Your Investment Strategy and Decisions with Cansulta
Protect Your Portfolio
Investors, we know you face unique challenges when evaluating potential companies for your portfolio.
Along with balancing risk, you’re battling internal pressures, tight time constraints, and the constant demand for high performance. You’re operating within often volatile market conditions, public scrutiny, rigorous stakeholder demands, and adhering to evolving regulations and compliance.
Access to information is either scarce or overwhelming, and is almost always riddled with some element of bias.
Determining a management team’s leadership qualities like effectiveness, integrity, and vision is difficult and often based on gut feelings. Often you’re only meeting Founders or the executives and not the entire team, so understanding the nuances and internal culture can be challenging.
You’re used to assessing the financial health and stability of a company based on their and comparable industry financial statements and metrics. But what about all the other factors affecting a company’s performance and investability? The factors that are hard to measure.
You need an unbiased view of the company’s team and operations, and hidden intangibles like their management, strategy, and culture.
Is the team the right one to ensure growth and success?
Do they have the right people, processes, and technology to scale?
Is their strategy sound and sustainable?
The lengthy exercise of valuating a company’s operational processes, stability, and scalability can take days, weeks, and months into interviews and analysis.
As you compare options, conduct your own research, and undertake due diligence, ensure you have the full picture!

Meet The Business 360° Suite
The Assessment Suite
Our Business 360 solution is comprised of three assessments conducted through a proprietary online strategic platform:
Business Identity Index (BII)
- Leadership Alignment: Understand how well the leadership team is aligned and ready to produce results.
- Decision-Making Insights: Gain insights into how decisions are made within the organization.
- Managing Risk: Understand how each leader perceives the risk that the organization should be taking in planning for its future
Akin to a Myers-Briggs assessment for a business, this is a leadership alignment tool.
It will help you understand the perceptions of the organization from your leaders and management team, and clearly visualizes and communicates the varying (sometimes conflicting or divergent) approaches among decision-makers.
It measures how a business approaches 4 core competencies and enables improved due diligence, hiring/placement, strategic planning, change management, internal conflict, and more within one, fast assessment.
Operational Maturity Inventory (OMI)
- Operational Efficiency: Evaluate operations across best practice criteria.
- Gap Analysis: Identify and address operational gaps for optimal performance.
- Set Priorities: Know and act on the issues that are most impactful to success.
Examines 47 different criteria to analyze operational excellence to make informed decisions and streamline processes.
This is a process & operations evaluation that measures where an organization has been, where they currently are, and where they need to go in order to meet growth goals. It clearly exposes areas of imbalance.
Accurately predict outcomes, minimize fatigue, and accelerate better and more strategic decision-making within one facilitated session.
Change Capacity Assessment (CCA)
- Implementing Change: Measure the organization’s ability to handle new risk and implement changes in direction, leadership, or strategy.
- Momentum Drivers: Identify key factors that support or hinder progress.
It’s imperative to know who is stopping, impairing, hindering, supporting or driving change. This assessment measures team members’ risk tolerances and how well (or not) a team is positioned to sustain change.
Commonly used for strategic planning, change management, M&A, human resources, and DEI initiatives.
Measure agility and acceleration, remove subjectivity, validate gut feeling, accelerate decision-making, and complement traditional metrics.
Know what your organization can sustain – quickly.
