Optimize Your Business to new heights
Make your acquisitions a good and profitable match to your portfolio
Drive successfully the change from the existing strategies and way of work into the buyers strategy, ruleset and philosophy. Keep pace for a value generating post-merger process.
Four key success factors for a smooth post-merger process:
1. Understanding:
For the buyer it’s important to understand the existing formal and informal structure, the common rules of collaboration, as well as the benefit this structure offers to the existing team.
For the seller it’s important to learn and understand about the formal structure, rules and borderlines the new shareholder himself is committed to.
2. Transparency and openness:
Changes take time, therefore some patience. And at the same time it must be crystal clear what needs to be done and what’s optional for a certain period.
3. Alignment:
New IT systems, new planning and reporting requirements are not just an administrative task. They are essentially based on the company’s routine processes, which might also need to be adapted.
4. Guidance & Sparring:
Even if the sellers team are experienced managers, often it’s a new, an unkown challenge for them to adopt decision processes and executing a well balanced reporting to the new shareholders. This one is the most important key success factor.
It makes a lot of sense to support your investment: Book us as a fractional sparring partner!
