ABSTRACT

In the fth stage of the Rapid Due Diligence diagnostic process, the researcher and any team members engage in a more complex, holistic, systems thinking approach to the complete set of ndings. Discoveries from the application of analytical techniques in the earlier stage are also examined from the perspective of synthesis, or fusion of the separate elements to form a coherent whole system. For reference, the description of the fth stage has been excised from the full six-stage table in Chapter Two and appears in Table 7.1.
