NGOs: M&A for innovation and impact

May 18, 2021

RESEARCH REPORT

In brief

M&A: Change accelerator, value creator

Starting in your own backyard

Three considerations for NGO leaders

01. Envision the impact you want to make

Leaders should review their organization holistically with an objective eye, consider the impact they desire, assess that impact against their organization’s capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses.

02. Consider your existing network first

NGOs should look to their current network of partners first, beginning conversations to determine if deepening the relationship via M&A can benefit all parties. A foundation of collaboration and trust helps smooth the inevitable culture, operations, and talent issues that can arise.

03. Determine the right partnership model

There is no one-size-fits-all solution. NGO leaders should consider the “fit-for-purpose” partnership model and integration strategy that best meets both organizations’ gaps and strategic vision.
