Making Mergers Work - The Human Dimension

It is accepted knowledge that nearly 80% of mergers and acquisitions fail*. In our experience, the 20% that are successful realize their goals because they are designed and managed to succeed. (* Across The Board, January '99)

LIM, Leadership in International Management Ltd., works with merging and acquiring companies to help them become part of the 20%. We help companies develop and implement M&A transition plans that enable them to:

solve critical business issues;
realize desired business synergies;
improve their bottom-line;
learn from the process.

All M&As involve change - organizational, strategic and personal change. It is not 'business as usual.' There are changes in procedures, operating norms, reporting relationships, leadership styles and strategic visions; in how individuals relate to their jobs and to the business. So making M&As work demands effective management of the transition process at many levels.
