High-growth companies

M&A deals often fail to realize their expected returns due to cultural and integration issues, yet effective people due diligence is often overlooked in the investment/ acquisition decision making process.

People- and culture-related insights can play a pivotal role in testing and validating your investment hypothesis and understanding the integration challenge that may lie ahead.

Through the due diligence process we work with you to identify and assess these potential risks and to provide the insight you need to make appropriate commercial and financial financial decisions.

We assess performance, engagement, cultural and other areas of people-risk. In addition, we assess the potential challenges for a successful integration if the deal goes ahead and provide recommendations and support manage those challenges.

Mid-sized businesses

Our approach includes interviewing leaders and other key figures to gather vital information that will guide your investment or acquisition decision.

As part of the due diligence process, we identify potential issues that could influence your investment decision and integration strategy  and take a deeper dive into the current status of employment arrangements, employee data in order to provide guidance on what to discuss in your decision making and solutions to address potential issues.
