In addition to the issues affecting value, we use our proprietary values and culture assessment tools and integration planning to help determine which structure best meets their needs.

Integrations
Change is complex. Research shows that 70% to 90% of business combinations fail to reach their original business and financial goals. The number one reason cited is a failed integration of the two businesses, and the number one reason integration fails is cultural incongruity. Our holistic integration process looks at various facets of the parties involved from core values and people philosophy to decision making, communication, and operational efficiencies and leads the parties to consider where differing philosophies and culture may be an impediment. We believe it is critical that integration planning and dialogue begin before a deal is signed and be a specific element in negotiating the letter of intent.
