Mergers & Acquisitions
When a deal is being contemplated, we provide valuable insights into the characteristics and motivations of key players as part of the “people due diligence” process.
After the deal is signed, we actively support the integration through intentional culture management, change leadership, and alignment.
How it Works
Every acquisition requires a unique combination of the following:
We conduct an in-depth assessment of key players to understand and describe their capabilities, style and values so you can determine their highest and best use in the new organization.
Centauric provides you with a structured and systematic approach to navigating change that ensures a smooth transition, minimizes disruption and maximizes the chances of successful outcomes.
Our approach to Change Leadership involves clarifying the Winning Aspiration and Change Imperative, anticipating the impact of the integration, planning for implementation and leading the transition to maximize value.
We conduct structured alignment labs where areas of agreement are acknowledged, differences explored, issues identified and solutions are built. Leader alignment focuses on your winning aspirations, preferred rules of the road, role definitions, strategic priorities, and tactical commitments.
We enable you to understand what aspects of the legacy cultures are aligned, complementary or likely to undermine effective integration. With this clarity, we help you to design your preferred culture and execute a customized plan for sustainable Culture Management.
Evaluate your Impact
The process concludes with an evaluation of progress toward the achievement of your desired culture.

We would have moved directly into action but it was great to have Centauric with us to help us make the path, find what projects were most important and helped us challenge our assumptions.
– Vicki Poponi, VP Honda Consumer Journey Experience
I really liked the simplicity of the framework. Streamlined but powerful. The facilitators were very likable, articulate and created a sense of camaraderie even in a virtual group. The framework that they present is different from other leadership programs in that it’s simple, easy to implement and it’s effective. As a leader, that’s what you’re looking for, and I think the program accomplished that.
