Equity + Equity = Good Business
When to conduct a PE / VC change programme
- When the deal is being arranged - this is the time to assess organisation and cultural readiness. It will demonstrate to staff and external stakeholders that you are assiduous in making the deal work across all aspects of the business. Only in this way will you realise synergies.
- Post deal - consolidating the organisation, realising performance potential, delivering synergies and rebranding if appropriate.
