Join us on Thursday for our Strategy Café with Peter van Eeden. He will take us through real examples & learnings from his own experience of the impact growth can have on the people in organisations during acquisition, fast growth, & growing then closing.?https://hubs.li/Q02qJhhD0

Q: How can cultural mismatches in acquisitions lead to integration challenges for businesses? A: Differing company cultures can clash, leading to reduced employee morale and productivity. Merging companies with mismatched cultures can be like mixing oil and water; without careful emulsification, it can lead to a turbulent blend, affecting morale and productivity.

In our recent M&A Forum, Foley Hoag's Corey Brown was joined by Karen Tepichin and Michael Rice for an in-depth discussion on avoiding integration pitfalls and building a roadmap for seamless mergers. Key takeaways include: ?? Sellers: Know your worth: Negotiations tend to push the price lower. Come prepared with a solid proposal and rationale to defend your venture’s true value. Take stock of your key team members: Identify key employees crucial to the deal’s success—even those overlooked by the buyer. Advocate for their value to ensure a smoother integration. ?? Buyers: Assemble your A-team: Checklists and daily scrums keep the process on track. Communication is key! Ensure your core team treats the deal as a top priority, not a side task. HR & IT are important stakeholders: A well-prepared HR team can retain critical employees, while a strong IT team can ensure flawless tech—both essential to long-term success.

When doing M&A it is hard not to focus completely on the deal process, and this environment often prevents disclosure and open discussion, and yet the success of all deals depends on performance - always a mix of the right model, the right capabilities and the right leadership and emotional engagement - most of which are the people aspects.

if you are ever wondering how to get a seat at the M&A table, check out this post. Sachin Kumar, PMP? CRP? does a masterful job of explaining how to align our work in HR with the broader deal strategy. Thank you for a great session, Sachin!

Last week, I had the privilege of presenting on "Building Synergy: Aligning People Strategy with Deal Strategy in Mergers and Acquisitions." at the HR M&A Roundtable Conference 2024. It was an amazing experience sharing insights on how aligning human capital with deal objectives can unlock value and drive successful integration. Key Takeaways for Human Capital M&A Specialists: - Human Capital plays a critical role across the entire transaction lifecycle. Strive to be an M&A specialist with Human Capital expertise, not just a Human Capital / HR expert with some M&A exposure. - Master M&A processes, financial drivers, and legal aspects. Get comfortable with deal structures, legal language, and balance sheets—these are essential to understanding the big picture. - Build trust—it’s your ticket to a seat at the table; share your insights on deal timing and transaction risks. - Plan for integration early! Start planning before the deal closes to ensure smooth transitions and maximize synergy opportunities. Grateful to HR M&A Roundtable and Klint C. Kendrick, PhD, SPHR for the opportunity and looking forward to driving more impactful conversations around M&A and People Strategy! #MergersAndAcquisitions #HRStrategy #CorporateDevelopment #PeopleAndPerformance #Leadership #Synergy #HRM&ARoundtable

What if M&A transitions didn’t feel like pulling teeth? ?? Mergers and acquisitions are as much about BLENDING CULTURES as they are about combining balance sheets. It’s not just a TRANSACTION; it’s a TRANSFORMATION. ?? Think about the last M&A you heard about. What stood out? If you’re like most, it wasn’t the financials - it was the FRICTION. Two teams, two ways of working, and a lot of UNCERTAINTY. ?? Why do culturally aware interim managers shine in these situations? In one of our projects, an interim human resource manager came in to bridge that cultural divide, making sure both teams felt heard, respected, and understood. They quickly set up open forums for HONEST CONVERSATIONS, aligning operations to avoid bottlenecks before they happened. An interim team doesn’t just smooth over rough patches - they help teams see themselves as one UNIFIED FORCE. Imagine that level of alignment from DAY ONE. ???????? Planning an acquisition? Let’s discuss the REAL DIFFERENCE an interim perspective can bring. ???? ...and yes...we have dealt with the Trade Unions as wel .... #MergersAndAcquisitions #BusinessTransformation #CorporateCulture #ChangeManagement #Leadership #InterimManagement

An acquisition propels rapid growth, but it also creates uncertainty among employees and other HR obstacles. Where can growing businesses find support? Spencer Brown, CEO of Cadence13 (formerly DGital Media), faced this challenge head-on with #Insperity's support. Utilizing Insperity's comprehensive HR services, he expanded his company from 213 to 608 employees, ensuring smooth integration during acquisitions. Insperity’s expertise helped create a cohesive, professional environment. As Brown's experience shows, the right partnership can drive remarkable growth. #InsperityClient #HRThatMakesADifference #SmallBusiness #Growth #MergerAndAcquisition https://lnkd.in/eBp7iqtp
