The importance of organizational culture
Organizational culture plays a crucial role in the success - or failure - of strategic transitions, such as mergers and acquisitions (M&A). Although financial, operational, and strategic factors are often leading in reaching a deal, the success of long-term culture integration determines the outcome.
In practice, mergers and acquisitions fail in 66% of cases. This happens well before or during the change process. Due to the lack of specific attention to culture, continuity and a stable work environment are put under pressure.
A keen eye is then needed to identify characteristic values, dynamics, and patterns and to determine what is needed to positively influence them.

Abbott
A new team and a new role without a clear picture of all the new elements; first, insight is needed to uncover what is happening. Then it becomes clear what development and intervention require.
Ministry of Justice
To make an improvement in the collaborative culture of the Sustainable Digital System (digitization within the Criminal Justice Chain), both an analysis to understand the current situation and pragmatic interventions to break the status quo are needed.

Eveline quickly gets to the heart of the matter. She is not only able to sharply analyze cultural issues, but also knows how to pragmatically translate these findings into adequate solutions. We have insight into cultural patterns and possess tools to effectively work with them.

Eveline provided insight into a (for me) new organization. Together, we developed a plan at the strategic, team, and individual levels. The result is efficient collaboration, better communication, and a positive culture in a lasting change environment.
