Structuring the M&A process
From the early phases of the operation, Diwan Consulting supported the leadership teams in structuring the merger process. The engagement consisted of analysing the existing organisations, governance models, internal processes and management practices, in order to identify points of convergence and potential friction areas. This work made it possible to define a progressive integration trajectory, avoiding any abrupt disruption for teams and clients. The objective was to preserve business continuity while preparing the conditions for a progressive alignment with Onepoint group's organisational and operational standards.
Change management and team support
A central component of the mission focused on change management. The acquisition of Vision IT Group generated strong questions within the teams, related to the future of the structure, changes in roles and the management culture of the new group. Diwan Consulting supported the leaders in structuring a clear and coherent transformation discourse, aimed at giving meaning to the operation. The emphasis was placed on internal communication, clarification of objectives and highlighting the opportunities offered by integration into the Onepoint group. This approach reduced resistance, strengthened team buy-in and created the conditions for lasting engagement in the new organisation. Change management was conceived as a continuous process, integrated into operational and management decisions.
Organisational alignment and structuring of working methods
Beyond human support, Diwan Consulting intervened on organisational alignment. Work processes, management methods and operational practices were analysed to bring them into convergence with the Onepoint group's standards. This work harmonised working methods, clarified responsibilities and strengthened the overall coherence of the organisation. The challenge was to create a structure capable of supporting the group's strategy, while taking into account the specific characteristics of the Luxembourg market.
Brand transformation and securing the transition
One of the most critical challenges of the mission concerned brand transformation. Vision IT Group suffered from a strongly degraded image, both with clients and partners and talent. The identified risk was that this negative perception would transfer to the Onepoint group during the transition phase. Diwan Consulting supported the definition and implementation of a transition strategy towards the Onepoint brand. This work covered key messages, communication materials and contact points with the external ecosystem. The objective was to break clearly with the past image, while ensuring service continuity and readability for existing clients. The brand transition was conceived as a lever for reassurance and repositioning, enabling the Onepoint group to strengthen its credibility in the Luxembourg market and protect its institutional image.
Results and value creation
Diwan Consulting's support secured a particularly sensitive phase of transformation. The merger and acquisition was carried out in a controlled framework, limiting social, organisational and reputational risks. The transition to the Onepoint brand was conducted progressively and coherently, enabling the group to preserve its credibility and strengthen its position in the Luxembourg market. Teams were integrated into a more structured organisation, with clear reference points and a shared vision of the future.
Key lessons
The Onepoint case study illustrates the importance of strategic and organisational support in M&A operations, particularly in sensitive transformation contexts. It demonstrates that the success of an external growth operation depends as much on change management, team alignment and image management as on legal and financial aspects. This mission highlights Diwan Consulting's ability to intervene on complex M&A projects, combining organisational expertise, mastery of human challenges and a deep understanding of brand and reputation issues.
