OVERVIEW	The M&A Culture Survey is a deeper dive than our M&A Culture Scan allowing for an in-depth analysis that provides the information Leaders, Integration Teams and HR/OD Professionals need to focus their efforts on the areas most critical to integration success. This survey is recommended for situations where you need to understand cultural synergies and differences however it isn’t possible to bring people together to work through the survey results. A culture expert analyzes your results and prepares your report, so you can focus on the important stuff such as creating culturally appropriate and effective integration and change plans.
FAST FACTS	• 62 items assess 15 potential areas of culture clash plus 4 engagement drivers • 2-3 open-ended questions add context and color to your data • 15 minute on-line confidential survey • User-friendly, rapid activation • Industry-leading data security • Accessible by desk top, phone or tablet • Daily progress reports of survey participation • Available in English, Canadian French and Latin American Spanish. Other languages can be added if required.
WHEN TO USE IT	The M&A Culture Survey can help you: • Identify red flags: In some cases, cultural differences can present major risks that need to be addressed early in the integration process. • Identify synergies and best practices: Uncover cultural practices that are sources of value to one or both organizations. • Determine the best way to phase integration: One of the biggest risks of integration is to unknowingly damage the source of the acquisition’s value. For example, an acquisition that has built a tightly integrated customer-focused operation would suffer if an acquirer forced a change in CRMs or moved customer facing work to another office. • Increase retention and engagement of critical people: With few exceptions, one of the keys to a successful acquisition is the ability to retain and engage leaders, experts and others who have knowledge, customer relationships and capabilities that are the foundation of its value. While retention packages certainly help, this is not enough to ensure they will continue to dedicate the same level of energy and attention as they have in the past. • Lower the cost of integration: The proactive identification and removal of obstacles caused by cultural differences allows integration activities to proceed more quickly and effectively thereby reducing associated costs.
