Cultural integration in M&A: Getting it right

In today’s increasingly complex M&A landscape, culture is no longer a secondary consideration – it is a critical determinant of deal success. When culture is misunderstood or left unmanaged, organisations may stall their momentum, strain leadership, and erode the deal value. 

In this roundtable session organised in collaboration with ODE Consulting, we explore how organisations can assess cultural fit early, navigate cross‑cultural challenges, and actively realign teams post‑transaction to support successful integration and sustainable outcomes.

Through focused presentations and an interactive roundtable discussion, this session brings together practical experience and research‑based perspectives to prompt meaningful dialogue on culture and integration. You will be able to benefit from shared experiences, guided discussion, and clear takeaways to help inform how cultural considerations are addressed within their organisations.

This session will cover:

• How culture is defined and reframed beyond cross‑cultural differences 
• Key challenges and lessons learnt from an M&A integration perspective
• How culture can support integration by realigning differences and blending diverse experiences and attitudes
• Insights from the Hofstede Culture Model and the tools that support cultural diagnosis and understanding
• Practical action planning and application – how to translate cultural insights into meaningful actions in the workplace
