ABSTRACT
Whether merging, acquiring, or divesting, what you see is not necessarily what you get. The future becomes more vision than photograph, and invisible dangers—unseen forces—often lurk beneath the surface. These high-risk threats can have a more profound effect on the outcome of the deal than you ever imagined and more than the technical due diligence can reveal. Leaders want to know more than it is possible to know precisely because experience has taught them about the dangers that lurk.
