“The question is not how to die separately, but how to live together”.

Albert Camus

The majority of mergers fail completely. Many fail in at least one critical aspect. Whether it's a clash of cultures, the 'not invented here' mentality, or insecurity - personal or professional, these factors may represent only the tip of the iceberg in terms of delaying or preventing acceptance, integration and ultimately growth.

The Corporate Development Process tool, CDP, can independently assess true motivation, benchmark key requirements and identify key actions for each organisation before integration. The value of CDP continues after the merger as it can be used to benchmark progress of the new entity, as well as identifying development actions and success stories.
