The Role of Culture Before, During, and After Deals

For the 6th consecutive year, Herbein was proud to have presented a panel at the Pittsburgh Smart Business Dealmakers Conference.

The theme of the 2023 event was Navigating M&A Uncertainty – and it couldn’t have been timelier. The conference offered panel sessions, keynote speakers, and one-on-one networking.

Herbein presented The Role of Culture Before, During, and After Deals from 10-10:40 a.m.

Herbein Partner Greg Farrell and Herbein | Watterson Talent Solutions Partner Gary Kustis joined Patrick Colletti, founder of Net Health and author of “Refounder,” and Bob Whalen, president & CEO of HB Global, LLC, to examine why cultural factors and organizational alignment were critical to success (and avoiding failure) in mergers – and how oversight of culture could lead to poor results.

Research showed that some 95 percent of executives described cultural fit as critical to the success of integration – so it was a must-attend event!

Topics included:

• Overview of the role of culture in M&A
• Determining organizational culture on both sides
• Merging organizational cultures
• Creating a shared culture
• Planning for cultural integration
• What can go right (and wrong) at every stage – real world tips
