❝The stats on M&A failure, in fact, might be gloomier than the American divorce rate.
Depending on whether success is defined by shareholder value, customer satisfaction,
or some other measure, most research places the merger failure rate
somewhere between 50% and 80%❞ Source: www.bakerer.com
Cultural conflict and lack of shared vision often play a major role in causing mergers to fail, yet they are often neglected when the benefits of a potential merger are examined. While culture may seem minor when evaluating mergers, compared to markets, financials and business models, we believe it is the key to success.
Furthermore, conflicts of interest between employees in two or more merged firms may also harm the merger.
We work with the top team to build a common culture, based on a shared vision and strategy supported by agreed common values.
Working with the key stakeholders we carry out a Pre-M&A assessment of the suitability, flexibility, mindset and fit of the top teams of the firms involved, to assess their ability and motivation to change. Post-M&A we continue to support the top team, working through the whole change implementation programme on a risk/reward model. We help to build engaged and high performing teams, that can lead the change throughout the new organisation.
