Are you experiencing conflicting decision-making styles between old and new organizations?

Has the transition wrecked employee morale and created an atmosphere of fear and distrust?

Have you experienced a decline in productivity and lost key talent since a recent merger or acquisition?

These problems are often the result of an extreme culture clash between organizations that merge or are acquired. The surprising fact is that the primary barriers to a successful merger or acquisition are not the external business environment, but rather a result of internal "people" issues.

With failure rates as high as 70 - 80%, how can you beat the odds and achieve the goals of a merger or acquisition plan?

At Avantt, we have worked with many companies experiencing these difficulties and, unlike other methods that address the financial and legal aspects of mergers only, our focus is on people issues and fit. Our processes include a variety of tools to identify and address the people issues that hamper the success of a merger or acquisition. Collectively called the Acquisition Alignment™ process, Avantt Consulting will help you maximize productivity, stabilize the workforce and significantly increase the chance for unity and the integration of corporate cultures. The following solutions help you prepare for a successful merger or acquisition, and help to create unity and success after it has occurred:

Strategic Plan Integration
The plan that effectively leads you to a merger or acquisition has to transition after the deal is done. Successful integration requires expertise to adjust your strategy for the new organization.

New Management Team Development
In the interest of creating and maintaining a competitive advantage in today's complex global marketplace, this development process is designed to get your team working effectively together very quickly, to meet todays challenges. We specialize in changing behaviors and attitudes to make sure you reach organizational goals.

Management Team Integration
Putting people in the same room, or company, does not make them a team. Our experts will identify the barriers that will get in the way, and talents you can tap as you put this new team together.

M&A Roadmap
This in-depth planning process helps companies address the "people" issues as they prepare for a merger or acquisition and manage the M&A aftermath. Unlike other “cookie cutter” approaches, this roadmap is a customized plan that specifically matches the needs of your organization.
