OWNERSHIP TRANSITION
Business transfer and change of ownership
A new shareholder, a sale, a succession: governance changes, and the company must keep its promise to its customers, its teams and its partners. We support this transition and prepare the future with the new leadership.
WARNING SIGNS
Four signs it is time to act.
The new shareholder’s plan is clear, but the roadmap that makes it real is not.
Two combined entities keep operating as two companies, sometimes as competitors.
Customers wonder about continuity, and teams are waiting to know what will change.
The long-standing leader leaves, and part of the know-how goes with them.
WHAT WE DO
From audit to the front line.
Audit and recommendation
We audit the offer, the organisation and performance with our GXP Value® method, then recommend the decisions to take, with priorities and a roadmap.
A clear identity
When two companies come together, we build a single brand platform and define the customer experience of the new group.
Roll-out on the ground
We work alongside the teams, from the executive committee to the front line, until the roadmap becomes the way people work.
A CASE
Merger of two cybersecurity software companies.
Context
Two French cybersecurity companies merge under a new shareholder.
Challenge
Turn former competitors into one company that customers and teams can understand.
What we did
Audit of both companies, benchmark, strategic recommendations, a single brand platform and the customer experience of the new group.
Result
A player positioned as a European leader, with an image of innovation and professionalism.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What we are often asked.
When should you bring us in?
Ideally as soon as the deal is signed, before teams and customers draw their own conclusions.
Do you work for the shareholder or for the CEO?
For the company: we work with both, and the roadmap has to work for both.
What does GXP Value® measure in an ownership transition?
Identity, customer experience and employee experience: the three components most exposed when governance changes.
