Whether you are assessing acquisition possibilities or are part of an organization still feeling the impact of amalgamation, we can bring an array of services to support your needs.

• Readiness for M & A   Even before due diligence starts, a snapshot of your culture can provide you with insight about readiness for M&A, providing insight into adaptation and other factors which can make or break integration success. Knowing the capacity of your own organization may be a key insight that lets you assess the risks of M & A to your own organization.
  

  What if your award winning, high performance company had become so proud of itself that it was becoming locked into its practices and resistant to change? Click here to learn more about how we helped a client make the decision to postpone an acquisition and to improve its internal adaptation and readiness for M&A within a year.

• Observation Processes and Tools   Do you have the ability to spot signals of culture clash early in the acquisition process? What risks can be better managed by having tools and training to help you eliminate, as early as possible, potential acquisitions with high potential for culture clash? We have culture experts able to conduct ethnographic observation during the due diligence process to identify potential areas of culture clash. These same experts can design observation processes and tools for use by your personnel.

• Acquisition Due Diligence Do you know how your culture compares to your acquisition target's? Using our Culture Snapshot™, you will be able to compare culture strengths for synergies, describe the implications for strategic success and spot specific culture patterns where tensions are most likely to occur. By identifying these early in the process, the level of risk, the scope of integration and the need for transition activities can be more fully understood.
  
  
• Culture Snapshot Workshops The Culture Snapshot report engages groups in exploring culture strengths and areas for development. During M & A, it can be a highly effective means for building appreciation of the culture strengths of both entities, for identifying areas of synergy and tension and for identifying areas requiring attention.
