Closing your M&A deal is just the beginning. Now you’re under the gun to make it work…. without losing productivity and diminishing revenue. -- Worried about lost productivity post Day-1 due to a disengaged workforce? Unclear about who will be sitting in what leadership chair post Day-1? Concerned that your HR staff won’t have the time or capacity to lead an effective people and culture integration? Still not clear on what needs to be done to merge cultures? At BLG, we help accelerate post-M&A productivity by designing and executing a strategy for successful culture assimilation, people optimization and effective post-deal communication. As an expert in strategic Human Resources and talent development, I also work with driven leaders feeling the impact of large-scale organizational change as they navigate the new and complex landscape to secure meaningful roles. As a CEO, you know the grim stats: ❌ 70-90% of mergers & acquisitions fail. (Most cited reason why? People problems) ❌ On average, acquired companies experience a 12% revenue decline in the first 9-months. ❌ 33% of acquired employees resign within the first year. ❌ Acquired employee productivity drops 60-70% on average after an acquisition. Why? Poorly managed culture and people integration. We help management teams: ✅ Have a clear game plan to address the people problems that most companies ignore ✅ Be armed with a repeatable framework to get the most out of your people ✅ Know, clearly, the benefits and risks of merging the two cultures….and a roadmap for protecting and leveraging the best of each ✅ Have an HR team that is able to continue their critical “day job” while following a change management playbook ✅ Have a decisive Day-1 leadership organizational chart ✅ Enjoy a workforce that, while experiencing change, remains productive and engaged Post-Merger Integration (PMI) is where you make or break the value of the transaction. No matter how good your NewCo is, if the workforce and culture are not integrated properly you will lose value and miss expected returns of the transaction. Don’t leave it to chance. Bring in a partner with the experience and expertise to walk your team through every step along the path towards effective people and culture integration.
