Cultural Due Diligence & Culture Integration

A recent study shows that deals are 26% more likely to succeed if acquirers focus on identifying and resolving cultural issues. Other research suggests that a pre-deal emphasis on culture can produce 7.6% higher returns.

Culture is far too important to be left to chance. It also deserves more than the typical "culture gap analysis" or sketchy inquiry about culture found in due diligence checklists. Those superficial approaches have little or no utility. They usually dead-end at data gathering and actually cause far more merger problems than they solve.

PRITCHETT has an array of in-depth, highly focused tools and cultural assessment techniques to select from depending on our clients' situation.

We know from our 30+ years of merger experience, however, that data gathering is the easy part. The real work lies in knowing what to do with the information. PRITCHETT has unrivaled expertise in distilling cultural data, isolating the crucial insights, and advising top management on cultural priorities.

PRITCHETT ensures that you gather the right data, then positions you to actually use it for maximum effectiveness in both the deal-making and integration process.
