Organizational Due Diligence

According to recent statistics, 70% of mergers and acquisitions (M & A's) are deemed unsuccessful in meeting their financial and synergistic goals.
You can look at the financials and the statistics -- but that's not enough. Without an assessment of the organization, you will not have a complete picture as to the future success of the company you are looking to acquire.

Assess the Leadership Team

Will the current Leadership Team be able to meet the goals you will have for the company? Learning about the Leadership's strengths and weaknesses will not only help you decide whether to invest in this company, but will guide your integration plan if you decide to buy.
Dynamic Solutions Group's* Organizational Due Diligence Team may choose from any of the following resources to assess the Leadership Team:
  • Interview the leadership team
  • Interview the management team
  • Administer assessment profiles
  • Tour the department the leader is responsible for-- with the leader
The assessment report you receive from DSG* takes into account your goals for the company, and provides insights into the ability of the Leadership team to achieve your goals.
*The Dynamic Solutions Group is the consulting division of the Dynamic Performance Institute, LLC.

Organizational Assessment

Do the people of the company you are looking to acquire have what it takes to meet your goals? DSG looks at various key cultural and organizational indicators to see if the staff and management are appropriate for what you want to achieve. Not just an assessment, this report will also provide a set of suggestions for what it would take to shift the organization to meet your goals, if you decide to acquire the company.

Infrastructure: Processes, Procedures & Equipment

The infrastructure of an organization can either bog it down or speed it up. DSG experts can analyze the efficiency and quality processes within a company and alert you to potential problems such as:
  • the need for major new machinery or repairs
  • quality concerns
  • lack of controls
  • overbearing bureaucratic procedures.

Fast Integration: The First 100 Days

You Bought It. You Love It. But - It's Not Perfect

The adrenaline and excitement of making the deal happen is on the wane - and reality is setting in. You know the company is not perfect. But you also know that the first 100 days are critical.

What do you have to do to ensure success?

Janelle Brittain, MBA, CSP, says you should not totally trust the information you got through due diligence. She and her team will offer concrete strategies to accomplish your goals quickly, while creating buy-in from your newly acquired teams. They will address these three areas:
  • Quickly Assess the Real Situation
    Looking at the culture, sales team, marketing strategy, efficiency, quality and people's performance
  • Help to Lay Out a Plan of Priorities
  • Design an Internal Marketing Strategy to Implement Your Message
We know from experience that two actions are key:
  1. Address the problems quickly
    Research study after research study has shown that new acquisitions are much more likely to succeed when involvement, action and changes start within a short time period after the M&A takes place. The reason is simple. Your people - all of them - would rather know what's going to happen than continue to function in ambiguity.
  2. Strategize the first 100 days
    A clearly thought-out strategy for those first critical days - laying out the foundation for building collaboration and buy-in to the changes that need to happen - is essential for success. DPI & DSG's merger experts help companies create comprehensive and meaningful action plans by providing guidance, clear focus, and situation assessment insights.
