Acquisitions for sport or growing the business?
Many companies want to get into new markets and obtain new clients and keep that stock price going and naturally, acquisitions surface as a viable strategy. It is often believed that “the deal” will heal their business issues and so there is cause for great celebration. At Bright Operations we believe this is like throwing a parade after the first quarter of a football game. Success of an acquisition depends on how firms leverage the resources, clients, and innovations to grow the business. We work to evaluate an acquisition from the angle that always gets overlooked – is this the right cultural fit, does this really get me more and better clients? Without such attention, the lives of the employees of both firms get much harder with little benefit. Bright Operations’ focused approach with the leadership of both firms can turn a “good” acquisition into a reality that unites teams and produces results faster.
I’ve just read that the US Bureau of statistics says that in the years 2012 – 2022, the fastest growth in US employment will take place in health care, healthcare support, construction and personal care fields. If you are a construction company what does that mean to you and your hiring and training practices. The talent war is on!
