Expanding your product portfolio, increasing your market penetration and the clients look complimentary - the deal looks like a go !
But what about the technology platforms? And how will customers respond to new process protocols and different compliance clauses?
Usually it is the less visible items that become the root cause for customers leaving after the acquisition, and take the longest to integrate.
How to assess the risk upfront? And what would be a mitigation strategy afterwards?
Thought partnering to pressure test decisions before going public
Acquisition and integration journey of Regional Asian Airfreight provider by global Logistics group - Example
How to integrate an owner based fast moving regional player that is loved by its customers for it´s flexibility and speed into a global logistics group 10 times its size?
This taught me how to navigate the tension between global scale and local excellence:
Fast alignment to global systems and compliance - what is non negotiable and what can be adjusted/replaced later?
Protecting the flexibility that made the regional player successful - What are the critical people to ringfence due to customer intimacy and experience?
Retaining key talent through thoughtful placement - How to infuse the right mix into the global organization for growth?
Continuous calibration and listening to critical customer needs - What are the value propositions that retain and increase customer loyalty in the new setting?
