Experience shows that companies that performed a due diligence prior to the corporate acquisitions improved the profitability of the transaction.              At Fahn Kanne Consulting, we understand that the acquisition of a company without a prior due diligence is like buying the proverbial "cat in a sack".

Engage your people to deliver on the strategic aims of your organisation and your change programme – pre, during and post-transformation.

The rapid evolution of technology, coupled with economic and social trends, is changing the world of business. To ensure continued success, organisations need to make fundamental changes to their business practices, through their strategies, operating models and the way in which they attract, retain and develop their people.

The key to ensuring continued success is to embed agility through your people strategy and operating model. This will minimise future inefficiencies and will allow you to take advantage of the opportunities which change presents.

People strategy

In a change programme, financial and operational functions are often considered first, and there is less of a focus on reviewing people strategy within the business. However, this is a critical step. If you do not review your people strategy in line with the change, roles can very quickly become misaligned with business needs and people spend time focusing on activities that do not add value. This can result in duplication of work, inefficiencies and frustrated employees.

Change delivery

Investment in change management to support programme management is increasingly being recognised by the C-suite. Outlining the case for change, understanding its impacts and managing these through engagement, communications and training are all key enablers for delivering successful change programmes.

HR function

As owners of the employee experience and people agenda, the HR function is well positioned to facilitate and drive change throughout the business. It is critical that the team is the right size, properly resourced and has the appropriate skills mix to fulfil the requirements of the business.
