Joint Venture Alliances

Joint venture

Alliances

More M & A Information

Joint ventures and strategic alliances are useful for achieving growth because they are faster than building a new business and appear to be less complex than acquisitions.

However, misaligned strategic goals, unclear governance, skewed operating models, unclear workforce strategies, and cultural differences can lead to underperformance.

Prioritizing

People

The most successful approaches address people risks from the beginning, during strategy identification and partner searches, and require the same level of focus as operational risks.

“The LEGACY Center team planned and implemented our entire organizational development program from scratch. The team consists of a number of seasoned cultural transformation leaders who are able to roll out a very unique program to our global, multicultural organizations in the U.S., Asia and Europe. By fully inserting themselves as “insiders”, the team members have been able to effect significant, positive changes successfully in just 1-2 years. We are very excited about the plans we have with the LEGACY Center team for the next couple of years.”

“The LEGACY Center cultural values assessment was most impactful in reaffirming and crystallizing our culture, creating a way to measure behaviors and accountability, and putting a process in place to maintain our culture as we grow and move forward. The LEGACY team was phenomenal in keeping our team fully engaged in their process, guiding us forward, and realizing amazing results!“

“We have used a variety of resources to develop our leaders and culture but lacked a cohesive, fully-integrated, and sustainable program. The LEGACY Center gave us the program and much more – they energized our entire company and our culture in precisely the way we had hoped but had never before achieved and gave us the means to carry it forward.”
