Merger and acquisition consultation

The success of a merger or acquisition often hinges on interpersonal factors like leadership, culture and alignment. LDW can help maximize success by providing sophisticated organizational and leadership assessment tools to evaluate even the most complex restructuring scenarios.
LDW evaluates the human risk and potential in conjunction with the overall business strategy to ensure the smoothest transition. After the merger or acquisition is complete, we often stay involved with the new organization to ensure healthy communication and adaptation by leadership on both sides of the transaction.
