What to keep in mind as a Pragmatist in deals
Strengths
Your advanced capabilities in the digital space boost your deals expertise. Having a clear-eyed approach to digital transformation means you know which companies have the tools and information needed to take your company even further.
Opportunities
Your open-minded approach to developing and adopting new technologies also could be applied to culture. That can come in handy in a deal where an unwillingness to compromise or mesh with another organization could come at the expense of value creation.
Pragmatist dealmaking considerations
Go for it
Consider making deals with companies that have a more flexible approach to culture. They can bring new perspectives and fresh ways of getting things done. Both are things you value highly, as they can help create value.
Tread lightly
Companies that are more digitally grounded or those that have a narrow purpose can seem slow and inefficient to you. Make sure an acquired business has enough strength in other areas to serve your company and its mission.
Dealing with the same identity
Your shared worldview with other Pragmatists would ostensibly make you a great match. While you could innovate digitally well together and have the same practical considerations, a lack of differences may mean you’re not being pushed to grow or evolve.
Could you be a match? Consider these other dealmaking identities.
