Core values are the underlying connective thread across all aspects of a business. They should be aligned to what your mission is and how you want to treat people. When a company has a strong values system it allows them to operate as a cohesive unit, all focused on the same goal for the same reason and with the same intentions. A company must live its values both internally and externally. How teams and colleagues work together, how management makes decisions, how marketing and sales build their strategies, how clients are treated and looked after and even how those who don’t become clients are treated and looked after. In this week’s Insight we look at the five core values of Bigmore Associates, how we show them in the way we work with our clients and, importantly, how we show them with the people we don’t take on as clients.

Something we are passionate about as a business is working with people with strong values that align with our business and personal values.

My latest article explores the topic of cultural integration in M&A, spotlighting the example of Babble under Matthew Parker. The business has put culture and people at the heart of its aggressive A&I (acquisition and integration) strategy over the last several years. With M&A firmly back on the agenda for growth companies, Members of the Criticaleye Community can also look forward to a Virtual Roundtable next week (Thursday April 25) on the subject of 'Evaluating M&A Opportunities'. I'll be chairing the session and joined by three excellent speakers in front of a packed virtual audience. We'll discuss what's driving an increased appetite for M&A at present, the role of the C-suite and Board in assessing targets, risk, 'deal-killers' and much more. The confirmed speakers for this session are: Jayne McGlynn, Partner and Corporate Lawyer at DWF, Patrick Pulvermueller, Chair at WebPros and Nick Wood, Partner and Managing Director at AlixPartners. Really looking forward to it! See you there ?? #mergers #acquisitions #dealmaking #leadership #Criticaleye

Last week I spoke to acquirers, investors, and a founders at the Business Acquisition Summit (put on by Michael J. McGovern and Ross Tomkins). The topic? Behavioral IQ: Owner Mindset, Team Preparedness, and Key Considerations for Leaders Pre and Post Acquisition. The hard truths of M&A are real. We know how to solve them. We make the intangible aspects of a deal tangible. Interesting in learning more about our frameworks, platform, or advisory services? We’re here for it all.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting virtually and hearing from Aleen Keshishian, founder and CEO of Lighthouse Management & Media, a former protégé of the legendary ICM agent Sam Cohn. From her very first signing, an 11-year-old Natalie Portman, Aleen showed an early knack for spotting talent. Today, she represents some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Selena Gomez, Jesse Peretz and Olivia Rodrigo. Aleen has also made significant strides in the branding and endorsement space, and her work in documentaries has secured massive deals for her clients. ?? Her candid personality drew me in immediately. Key takeaways from her sharing I believe is sharable (she indeed mentioned some names and stories that I prefer to keep in vault ?? ): ?? Common Sense Matters: Use emotional intelligence to understand people, read the room, and make yourself indispensable. ?? Criteria for Talent: Look for something special, ensure you are the right fit for them, and prioritize work ethic, passion, and ambition. ?? Long-Term Vision: Avoid short-term gains that could potentially ruin a client's career in the long run. Her wisdom mirrors the beliefs and decision-making processes in venture capital too, where understanding people, identifying unique opportunities, and thinking long-term are essential. I hope our paths could come across more in the future. #Inspiration #EntertainmentIndustry #TalentManagement #Leadership #VCInsights #AleenKeshishian
