Mergers and Acquisitions
In an ever-changing business environment, it has been the norm for several decades that growth, particularly growth of market share, is regularly found in the form of a merger or acquisition. Too often, technical gaps, financial compliments, and service/product synergies overshadow the need to consider the challenges of creating a harmonized, unified engaged workplace culture.
How multiple organizational cultures will transform can greatly impact the long-term success of an M&A deal and the ability of the combined workforce to achieve strategic goals. With a well-researched culture model and proven cultural change process, #TheCultureFactor can help bring measurable model clarity to either the decision-making process, or the cultural integration following a merger or acquisition. Specifically, our consultants will:
- Proactively Measure Culture, establishing a baseline for future reviews
- Discover Gaps between Culture, Strategy and working practices
- Use Culture to Facilitate Change
Using The Culture Factor’s Hofstede Multi-Focused Model, mangers and leaders are empowered to take cultural ownership and find meaningful gaps and cultural synergies that can either lead to actionable change initiatives, or red flags for a deal. The methodology is applied through facilitated workshops to enable the alignment of culture to strategy and enable cultural transformation where appropriate.
