In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses acquisitions and the importance of taking the time to understand the people.

When organizations hire one individual, it is important that salary, job description, values and heart are a fit with the individual and the culture. However, if there is a value or culture issues that arises with only one person, the success of an organization is not in jeopardy.

Mergers and acquisitions, though, are considerably more complicated. Often the culture piece is neglected and the focus is all on the financial aspects of the merger or acquisition. We have found over the last 30 years that blending organizations and the taking on an entirely different culture is similar to that of two families coming together. The staging and timing is critical to blend the two cultures and if done correctly, the organization will continue on the road to success. If done incorrectly, the blending or lack of blending the cultures can be detrimental to the organization and often times can cause an organization to fail.

We encourage you to ask yourself the following questions:

  • Does your organization take the time to know and understand the new people coming into the organization?
  • How does your organizational culture factor into the success or failure of the organization?
  • When was the last time your organization’s culture was assessed?

If your organization is growing organically or if your culture needs to be assessed, contact our expert guides by calling 800-786-4332 or email CClemmer@AppliedVisionWorks.com. Your success is in plain sight. It just takes determination and action and only takes 30 minutes to get started!
