Goldcrest Partners is expert in conducting culture and leadership due diligence of your acquisition targets. This insight helps inform your decisions, recognise risks, and plan successful integrations.
Strategy composition
From an organic perspective, if you are looking to change strategy this will require an enabling change in behaviour. Using profiling and assessment to identify where you are and what you need to do is vital to successful execution.
Organisational profiling and assessment for acquisition and development
At an organisational level, acquisition and development focuses on culture, both current and intended, and the infrastructure, people and processes that help define that culture. Primarily this means assessing how an organisation is achieving its strategy alongside the leadership’s impact upon and alignment with the intent of the business.
Acquisition
When one business entity considers acquiring another it is far more than just the company’s financial position that forms part of the due diligence process. The acquiring team is taking on a culture, most often determined by the existing leadership of that business. Assessing when acquiring a business gathers the evidence and to measure the current position.
Our approach is also likely to include undertaking personality assessments on the top team to better understand the dynamics and impact they individually and collectively have on the prevailing environment. Accompanied by our expert analysis and recommendations, we can add invaluable intelligence. Our advice will be provided on bespoke methods and practices needed to embed and engage the incoming leadership team and help them motivate the wider workforce.
Development
Business success is often primarily measured by financial metrics. However, developing appropriate behavioural skills across the organisation is essential to achieving these financial and strategic goals. Designing mechanisms that will instil various inter-connected behaviours results in making positive changes to both individual mindsets and organisational level growth.
At Goldcrest Partners we can review your culture, help you clarify the one you would like to have and bridge the gap.
