In these three webinar recordings (available below), you’ll learn how to streamline your processes and approach using data-driven decisions to address culture, communications and engagement. The sessions are organized into three parts: assess, address and bringing it to life.

What you’ll learn

Identify and address cultural differences between organizations and improve the success of your M&A deal with technology solutions that:

  • Assess culture during different phases of the deal
  • Address cultural differences and design a roadmap for the future
  • Bring it to life through employee and leadership facing technology

Assess: Cultural assessment

Learn about culture assessment tools that capture insights and identify potential integration opportunities and challenges, providing the basis for building comprehensive action plans to support integration.

The tools are designed to work with the data and stakeholders you need to access at different stages of the transaction, from due diligence to integration planning and integration.

In this session, you’ll see demonstrations of:

  • Simple Due Diligence Diagnostic: A simple checklist with up to 12 concepts to assess during due diligence to build a consistent approach to developing an early view of culture.
  • Culture Mindset Assessment: Dig deeper and uncover leaders’ mindsets during integration planning, explore differences between target and acquirer to inform your integration roadmap and lay the foundation for deeper dives.
  • Culture Surveys: Gauge the experience of employees with a simple survey post day-1 to inform integration plans and build a baseline to measure culture change over time.
