Mergers & Acquisitions

Change Management for Mergers and Acquisitions

What Happens After the Deal Matters Most

“Same bed, different dreams.” That sums up what you face after the deal is signed. While M&A’s are positioned as a marriage, there is rarely love involved. Each side comes to the table with very different preferred outcomes. And the research on value for M&A investments bears out what we know from our 30 years of experience: successful “integration” requires much more than the integration of policies, systems, and structures. In fact, many organizations still experience a “we-they” mentality even years later.

Our consultants work with your Leadership Team to determine the degree of integration they seek, the desired culture, and then use a disciplined approach for achieving it. It’s a fast, efficient process that builds buy-in and accountability, with measurement diagnostics to identify the cultural barriers based on each organization’s past history of implementation.

IMA’s ChangePro Workshop gives your people skills to self-manage the roller coaster of emotions they are sure to experience so you don’t spend time and resources overcoming M&A resistance that can directly impact productivity, customer satisfaction, and ultimately business outcomes.

We’ve done integrations across all types of global organizations, including Pharma, Oil & Gas, Finance, and Manufacturing—without an army of consultants. We’ll help you too.

We Give You the Know-How to Get Change Done. Fast.
