Mergers and Acquisitions

Creating a compatible plan for success.

It has been recently documented that the number one reason for unsuccessful mergers is the cultures of the organizations are not compatible. We offer a full range of services to assist with merger transition.

• Pre-Merger or Acquisition
  Evaluation of Staff: We will help you evaluate your potential partner and the strength of their staff. Our process will help you ascertain their skills, overall state of employee morale, ability to handle change, degree of team orientation, and the level of willingness to successfully join the two organizations.
  
  Evaluation of Culture: We will help you evaluate the potential partner and their culture. Our process will help you ascertain the meaning of their culture and core values, identifying commonalities across both organizations. Next, we will identify post-merger issues, such as change management, communications and team building, and help you develop an implementation plan for improvement.

• Post Merger or Acquisition
  Communication Plan: We will help you develop a plan to announce the change. This plan can be for employees, customers, vendors, media, and all of the stakeholders in both businesses.
  
  Integration Plan: We will help you evaluate the human resources systems and make recommendations as to how the two organizations should be successfully merged. This research will be documented into a project plan which we will help the new organization implement.
