Release the power of your team or organisation

   Post-acquisition integration is where value is won or lost. We help investors and leadership teams accelerate integration, protect revenue drivers, and deliver the returns you expect by aligning cultures, improving collaboration, and enhancing operational efficiency.

Investors and senior leaders often face significant post-acquisition challenges: from senior management locked in conflict or inaction to low staff morale and disengagement. Without a clear people integration strategy, performance can dip, key talent and revenue generators may leave, and the full value of the investment goes unrealised.

We help investors and leadership teams drive cultural and operational integration, ensuring that the expected sales growth or cost savings of the deal are achieved. We work with you pre- or post-deal to diagnose potential integration challenges and success factors. Through executive team development, cultural alignment workshops, and targeted coaching and facilitation, we help merged businesses bridge differences, engage employees, and embed effective ways of working. We also equip leaders with the skills to communicate effectively and manage change, ensuring smoother transitions and stronger performance.

For investors, this means protecting and enhancing the value of their acquisition. For leadership teams, it means reduced friction, improved engagement, and a business set up to succeed—both operationally and culturally. Successful acquisitions aren’t just about the deal. We help make them work.

  An organisation’s true values and behaviours shape everything – from the decisions that are made to the way people work together, they are a key determinant of employee engagement and business performance. But too often, values exist only as words on a wall or screensaver, disconnected from how people actually work. Without consistently lived behaviours, organisations risk misalignment between the way people act and the organisation’s goals, leading to underperformance and employee disengagement.

Our Values and Behaviours workshops help businesses create the culture they truly desire. By bringing leaders and employees together in engaging workshops, we breathe life into your organisational values. We surface how the values are currently being lived, so you can see which values are strong and which require improvement. We help you identify the desired behaviours that underpin the values, as well as the unwanted behaviours that don’t. We then help the group to identify what actions the business needs to take to move closer to living its values consistently. ​Need help identifying your values?  We can do that, too.

Let’s make your values more than just words – let’s bring them to life.

  As a senior manager in the UK financial services sector, you face the critical challenge of ensuring your firm's culture aligns with the Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) Consumer Duty, which mandates firms to prioritise customer interests and deliver good outcomes. 

There’s often a disconnect between the “tone from the top” – the culture leaders aspire to create – and the reality experienced by staff and customers on the ground. This misalignment can lead to unforeseen conduct risks, regulatory scrutiny, and penalties.

Our Tone from the Middle assessment service is specifically designed to address these challenges. We delve into the experiences and perspectives of your junior staff to uncover insights into your firm's culture, focusing on areas such as customer focus, inclusion and the ability to speak up, and links between conduct, performance, and rewards. This approach provides you with a clear understanding of any cultural discrepancies that could pose compliance or conduct risks.

By identifying and addressing these gaps, you can proactively mitigate risks, ensure adherence to the FCA's Consumer Duty, and foster a culture that truly places customers at the heart of your business.

  In the fast pace of day-to-day operations, leadership teams rarely get the space to step back, think strategically, and align on what really matters. Offsites and strategy days provide a crucial opportunity to reset, refocus, and move forward with clarity and purpose. But without the right structure, they can become unfocused discussions with limited impact – resulting in unclear decisions, a longer list of priorities, or actions that never materialise.

We design and facilitate high-impact offsites and strategy days that produce clear outcomes. Whether you need to agree the next three-year plan, tackle a key business challenge, or strengthen your team’s idea generation and problem-solving abilities, we create engaging, structured sessions tailored to your goals. Through expert facilitation, we enable honest conversations, clear decisions, and actionable next steps.

We help teams surface and address the underlying tensions or reservations that often derail plans later down the line. We also guide them in developing a shared vision that translates into meaningful action. Leaders and teams leave with stronger alignment, fresh perspectives, and the commitment to move forward.

Let’s make your next offsite one that delivers real impact and action.
