The success of a merger or acquisition often hinges on interpersonal factors: leadership, culture, and alignment. LDW can help with integration by using sophisticated organizational and leadership assessment tools to evaluate the situation. We can identify strengths and risk areas in the venture, and help with the organization's planning to ensure the best transition. We often stay involved with the acquired organization to ensure healthy communication and adaptation by leadership on both sides of the merger equation.

LDW evaluates the human risk and potential, in conjunction with the overall business strategy:

• Identifying differences in organizational philosophy, culture, leadership/management style, performance expectations, and helping bridge these gaps
• Improving cooperation/communication among international business units or between headquarters and field organizations
• Preparing executives for new assignments
