Integration Services
By all accounts, nonprofit mergers continue to disappoint in their failure to meet management’s strategic and mission expectations. The question is why? It is because most organizations lack the expertise and do not have the tools necessary to anticipate the differences between cultures. For profit organizations; many leading corporations have expertly systematized post merger integration planning and implementation, and have shared much of their knowledge with the other for-profit organizations but with nonprofit organizations.
Today’s economic environment will continue to weigh heavily on many nonprofits resulting in many mergers and acquisitions. We might expect to see large-scale merger mishaps … despite the growing base of time-tested guidance on the do’s and don’ts of M&A planning that could be used to facilitate nonprofit acquisitions or mergers.
Again the question: Why do mergers continue to fail to meet expectations? The answer: Too often, there is a serious lack of experienced leadership by CEOs and their boards during the post-merger integration process.
