About The Event

In the world of M&A, culture is often the most critical driver of value creation, yet it is rarely given the attention it deserves. It is estimated that 50% of M&A deals fail to produce the expected synergies because of cultural differences (KPMG). Without understanding the culture of the target, deals can fail to deliver the expected value and organisations can face significant losses. This roundtable session will explore how to preempt cultural challenges and enable integration teams to deal with cultural risks. Participants will discuss how to identify and uncover the DNA of their target’s culture, understand their decision-making model, and mitigate cultural risks in order to capture the full value of the deal.
