The Culture Kit · for businesses growing by acquisition
A clear plan for the people side of your deal.
A structured set of tools that tells everyone joining your business what to expect, and gives your leaders a clear plan for the first 90 days. Built for your deal, owned by your team.
The integration roadmap
A clear plan for every stage.
Scaled to the deal: the full roadmap for a full integration, or just the stages you need where the business will stay largely stand-alone.
Stage 0 · Pre-sign
Read the people side
People diligence, culture read and the integration narrative drafted before the ink dries.
Stage 2 · Month 1
Immersion
Operating principles, standards and decision rights made real in the work.
Stage 1 · Day 1
A designed welcome
Every person knows what’s changing, what isn’t, and who to ask.
Stage 3 · Day 90
Embed
Feedback loops closed, risk signals read, the new culture running as the default.
Six components
What’s inside the Kit.
Each component is a defined deliverable your team can use straight away, scaled to the deal: the full Kit for a full integration, or just the parts you need where the business will stay largely stand-alone.
K01 · Integration Narrative Framework
The strategic story behind the deal: why it matters, what is changing, and — just as important — what is not.
K02 · Cultural Operating Principles
Five to seven behavioural parameters. Non-negotiables, performance standards and leadership expectations, written so they can be used.
K03 · Integration Experience Map
Day 1 experience, Month 1 immersion, the 90-day embed and the feedback loops that keep it honest.
K04 · Leadership Playbook
How leaders communicate in transition, handle uncertainty, manage legacy versus new identity, and role-model the standard.
K05 · Onboarding Architecture
Structured induction flow, capability alignment, accountability clarity and the mechanisms that connect teams across the line.
K06 · Risk Signals
Early warning signs of cultural drift, talent loss and integration fatigue, so you can act early.
