WHY ARE MERGERS SLOW?
Many organizations express that their best objectives were slowly achieved, not by the deal or the new business strategy, but by the human element of the equation – a lack of trust, credibility, motivation and commitment; compelling visions, ids, egos, and leadership styles; a clash of cultures, all in a highly toxic “us vs them” atmosphere.
OUR APPROACH
MERGER IMPLEMENTATION MUST START WHERE THE DEAL-MAKING ENDS
We believe that successful mergers and alliances really begin where the deal-making leaves off. Therefore, we immediately focus on the critical issues that directly impact early in the process, pursuing initiatives that addresses:
Leadership
Culture
Trust, Motivation, and Commitment
Work Process
Human Resource Strategy and Process

What human resource strategies and processes they need in place
