Restructuring &

Turnaround

More M & A Information

In periods of financial hardship, leaders face significant pressure to reorganize their enterprises in a manner that safeguards stakeholder value, business continuity, and employment prospects. To accomplish a prosperous recovery, a blend of financial restructuring and operational improvement is indispensable.

It is essential for success to align human capital strategy with strategic objectives. Conducting a workforce risk analysis at the outset of the restructuring process, rather than as an afterthought, is crucial. This analysis necessitates the same level of strategic emphasis as stabilizing operations and defining the turnaround strategy.

Key M&A

Success Factors

It’s a shocking number, and the one thing all have in common is people. Mergers and acquisitions fail often not because key people leave, it is because teams don’t get along or demotivation sets into the company being acquired. One primary reason is the absence of a People inventory.

“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.”

“Culture, communication and people make up more than 50% of reason JV’s or Mergers fail. A focus on Cultural fit and integration has to be top of mind for any successful merger.”
