FORESIGHT IS THE ADVANTAGE
Warning signals are often invisible in traditional due diligence.
Over $3 Trillion is spent on Mergers & Acquisition deals annually, yet most will fail.
75% of M&A’s fail, most often due to people and culture issues that surface after close
Human capital gaps can reduce deal value by 10–30% eroding long-term performance
By the time these risks typically become visible, the integration damage is already done
WE MAKE YOUR DATA
MEASURABLE
Our platform transforms complex behavioral and organizational data into clear, decision-ready insight.
VISIBLE
Our analysis and expert interpretation surfaces a streamlined narrative from millions of data points and is delivered in time to influence real decision
ACTIONABLE
That speed allows deal teams to act earlier, reduce uncertainty, and protect value.
OUR CAPABILITIES
Cultural Due Diligence
Fact: Culture misalignment is a leading contributor to M&A failure
Assess cultural compatibility, decision norms, and operating behaviors that directly influence integration success. Ocean Analytics makes culture measurable at deal speed, turning a traditionally subjective risk into a data-backed input for investment decisions.
Sentiment Analysis
Fact: Delayed integration and disengagement carry material financial and reputational costs
Analyze workforce sentiment to uncover early indicators of resistance, disengagement, or instability. These signals often precede retention issues, productivity loss, and delayed synergies when left unaddressed.
Workforce Intelligence
Fact: Lack of visibility into the organizational systems elevates risk
Gain a clear view of workforce structure, capability distribution, and critical role dependencies. This intelligence helps deal teams understand where value is concentrated and where disruption would be most costly.
Predictive Attrition
Fact: Human capital gaps can reduce deal value by 10–30%
Identify roles, teams, and populations at highest risk of departure post-close. Predictive modeling allows leaders to intervene early and protect institutional knowledge and continuity.
Leadership Alignment
Fact: Leadership misalignment is one of the fastest ways integration momentum is lost.
Evaluate leadership fit, alignment, and readiness across merging organizations. Early insight into leadership dynamics reduces friction, stabilizes teams, and accelerates execution post-close.
ADVANCED ANALYTICS & AI
Ocean Analytics is built on behavioral science, advanced analytics, and enterprise-grade AI, purpose-built for people and culture due diligence in M&A.
