Digital Due Diligence

DDD Standard

Scope

To accurately define your current digital status taking into account your industry specifics, your brand positioning, and applicable trends in order to show you potential digital growth paths that are relevant to your situation
Onboarding into the digital world is like getting into a race. To make sure you get into the right race with the right strategy, you first need to understand your current capabilities and limitations. What makes it even harder is that the race track, race technology, and competition is rapidly changing.
There are countless ways to fail in digital, and one of the common roots of going downhill is the lack of proper understanding of the relevant opportunities and threats. The shifts in technology, the changes in market trends and customer behaviour create circumstances that make strategic decision-making challenging. In addition to this, seeing other brands thrive in digital might indicate directions to follow, but without a thorough understanding of their activities, it can lead to pitfalls, as mimicking them will not generate the awaited results.
To tackle this dynamic environment, we have developed a 3-pillar methodology that explores your digital footprint and helps you start your digital journey in the right direction.

To better understand the DDD’s practical benefits, we have assessed a comprehensive white paper on today’s 15 most valuable European football club brands. 

Get the core insights that a thorough DDD can deliver to your organisation regardless of the industry, location or size. 

Pillar 1

Digital Market
We analyse how the digital market looks in your industry, looking at your close competitors and emerging brands trying to or already disrupting the market. Based on the collected insights, we help you see relevant benchmarks that can serve you as a direction for setting your digital KPIs.

Pillar 2

Digital Technology
We carry out a technology audit on your digital ecosystem to find gaps that are needed to be closed and systems already having a better alternative. We do this with a strong focus on data, as data is the building block of the future. You need to be able to continuously scale how you capture and collect internal and external data sets to grant you the possibilities of developing data-driven insights beyond your current business intelligence capabilities.

Pillar 3

Digital Assets
We map your digital assets and score their usage, type, and quality to see if you have the right variety and necessary strategy to keep, reuse, create, and scale a digital media library that can support your current and potential activities.

 Present the results of your Digital Due Diligence and consider the next steps
While the focal point of a comprehensive due diligence is on your industry, we learned that bringing insights across different industries is not only a source of inspiration but one for novelty. That’s why we will show you applicable endeavours that proved their impact in other fields and have the opportunity to open new gateways in yours.
