The central importance of the human assets of the company make people appraisal a priority in planning and executing merger and acquisition deals. Waterville helps M&A teams standardize this endeavor through "Intelligence Based People Due Diligence" (IPDD™). This streamlined process includes three disciplined audits- auditing of (1) the target's people assets, (2) their business processes, and (3) the company culture- to enable effective and methodical pre- and post transactional alignment and integration.
