Success Rolls-Royce made a significant commitment in time and resources to conduct a cultural due diligence, ahead of completing their acquisition. Doing this work was fundamental to the success of the acquisition because it: • Gave senior people the reassurance that the cultural ‘stretch’ between the two organizations was bridgeable. • Demonstrated some shared views about how the future is perceived by both parties. • Highlighted some potentially negative cultural differences or ‘pinch-points’. • Showed the acquired company that Rolls-Royce had a broad interest in understanding how to engage culturally with their employees. • Provided the basis for an improved integration plan.
