The Overlooked Reason Why 70-90% of Deals Fail & Miss Valuation Targets

70% of deals fail to deliver expected value. The culprit is rarely the strategy or the balance sheet. It is the "invisible" friction between two operating cultures.


Until now, investors and advisors have treated culture as a "soft" issue because it couldn't be measured. That changes today. Backed by 30 years of research and data from the FTSE 100, we demonstrate how to transform culture from a hidden liability into a measurable asset.

The Statistics

 30-50%

Key employees leave post-merger.

50%

Value Erosion due to poor team trust and culture.

Delayed synergies

Cost and revenue targets missed due to poor integration.
