CultureSync

CultureSync measures cultural compatibility between an acquirer and an acquiree in corporate mergers and acquisitions, backed by twenty years of data.

Organizations run a structured assessment with the people on both sides; CultureSync scores the results across its cultural dimensions and shows where the two cultures align and where they will collide, so the integration plan is built on evidence rather than impressions.

What the assessment shows

Every organization is scored on two four-point compasses. The Culture Compass reads Capability, Character, Community and Relations: how the organization gets things done, what it stands for, how people belong, and how it treats the people it works with. The Action-Values compass reads Outward Facing, Inward Facing, Ethical Focus and Task Focus: where attention goes and what drives decisions.

The two shapes are the comparison. Where the blue and orange areas overlap, the cultures already agree and integration will be quiet. Where one shape reaches far past the other, as the acquiree does on Relations above and the acquirer does on Community and Ethical Focus, the two organizations will pull in different directions, and that gap is where the integration plan needs to spend its effort first.
