3A Better Together?
1.
Nov-14©LCVS 1 Better
together? Richard Davies
2.
Whilst every effort
has been made to ensure accuracy, Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services accept no liability for any loss suffered as a result of following any advice contained Nov-14©LCVS 2 in this document.
3.
Why is the
sector looking at collaboration? • Survival: financial/governance • Response to commissioning and contracting or funding bodies • Meet beneficiaries’ needs better • Greater influence • Expand range of services • History of collaboration Nov-14©LCVS 3
4.
Nov-14©LCVS 4 Defining
collaboration ‘Any situation in which people are working across organisational boundaries towards some positive end’ Huxman and Vangen 2005 ‘Working jointly to meet agreed outcomes and adding value that would not be achieved independently’
5.
Nov-14©LCVS 5 Benefits
of collaboration 1. Sharing of skills, knowledge, resources 2. Reducing delivery overheads 3. Sharing best practice 4. Sharing of risk 5. Developing new or improved services 6. Encouraging innovation 7. Increasing organisational capacity 8. Improving competitiveness 9. Strengthening market position 10. Promoting greater choice in services 11. Improving provision for service users 12. Enhancing organisational profile 13. Enhancing customer service 14. Creating long-lasting, fruitful partnerships 15. Sharing expertise and learning across the sector 16. Promoting sustainability
6.
Nov-14©LCVS 6 Challenges
to collaboration 1. Time 2. Legalities (need to check if can work in partnership), Legal fees 3. May be driven by funders and not be providers themselves 4. No clarity on driver(s) for collaboration 5. Risks e.g. damage to reputation if it goes wrong 6. Getting buy in – from boards, staff, funders 7. Will it really deliver the desired outcome? 8. Organisational culture 9. Reduced independence and autonomy 10. Loss of identity 11. Performance management 12. Finding the right partner/organisation to collaborate with! 13. Data protection
7.
Nov-14©LCVS 7 Challenges
to collaboration…?
8.
Nov-14©LCVS 8 Some
different forms of collaboration Joint service delivery • Lead body INFORMAL FORMAL Mergers • Setting up new organisation (both entities dissolve into it) or • One organisation joins the other ‘Encounters’ • Networks / networking • Forums Joint service delivery • Consortium Joint service delivery • Partnership agreement Sharing back office services ‘Encounters’ • Loose partnerships
9.
Nov-14©LCVS 9 Formal
and informal 1.Informal e.g. networks, forums, loose partnerships ‘encounters’ Sharing of intelligence No formal/legal agreement in place
10.
Nov-14©LCVS 10 2.
Formal • A. Joint service delivery – lead body • One organisation leads on the contract, and delivers it in partnership with others • B. Joint service delivery - Consortium • Separate organisations work together to achieve a common aim, usually a piece of work or contract. • A new legal organisation may be set up; but individual organisations maintain their own identity and core business and are ‘members’ or partners. • Formal agreement in place with clear roles on who is the lead body (organisation who bids for the work), and delivery agents
11.
Nov-14©LCVS 11 C.
Sharing Functions • where similar organisations link up to share: • Processes e.g. HR, finances • Resources e.g. office space • Services e.g. expansion into new geographical area Formal agreement/contract in place Also known as clustering
12.
Nov-14©LCVS 12 Partnership
agreements 1. Name Vision and specific aims or objectives 2. Allocated duties (delivery of different elements etc.) 3. Admin (record keeping etc.) 4. Membership 5. Conduct of Business – e.g. meetings/quorum 6. Decision-making processes 7. Funding/investment 8. Dispute resolution 9. Performance management 10. Management and administration of the partnership 11. Stakeholder engagement 12. Communications 13. Intellectual property 14. Amendments
13.
Nov-14©LCVS 13 D.
Merger Takes different forms…. One or more organisations close and dissolve into an existing / another one • Not always the right choice, but one that involves the most detailed consideration
14.
Nov-14©LCVS 14 3
key stages to merger 1. Groundwork Compatibility (beneficiaries/objects/values/policies) Heads of terms/confidentiality agreement Consultation Future management structures 2. Due Diligence Financial/legal/operational/cultural 3. Completion Merger agreement Practicalities (pre and post) e.g. assets/staff etc
15.
Nov-14©LCVS 15 Basic
Merger Structures: Asset Transfer 1 A B
16.
Nov-14©LCVS 16 Asset
transfer 1 • B assumes assets/liabilities of A • A closes down • Therefore good due diligence vital • Simpler/cheaper resulting governance and management structure • Feels like a takeover (but it needn’t)
17.
Nov-14©LCVS 17 Basic
Merger Structures: Asset Transfer 2 A B C
18.
Nov-14©LCVS 18 Asset
transfer 2 • New vehicle set up • Assets/liabilities of both A/B transfer to new vehicle • Both A/B dissolve • Same issues as Asset Transfer 1, except: Feels less like a takeover More expensive
19.
Nov-14©LCVS 19 Basic
Merger Structures: Group 1 B A
20.
Nov-14©LCVS 20 Group
1 • A parent organisation governs a group of subsidiary organisation • Both retain their own legal identities • Organisation A becomes a holding company for Organisation B • Changes made to A to accommodate some new trustees, staff, assets or projects from B • Can be used to maintain the services Organisation B • Organisation A protected from any risks arising from Organisation B by creating a 'firewall' • Organisation B continues to operate as a separate legal body, albeit one controlled by the trustees of Organisation A • The relationship may continue indefinitely or may be an interim stage prior to full merger
21.
Nov-14©LCVS 21 Issues
with Groups • Tighter than mere contract arrangements • Cheaper to establish • No transfer of liability • More complex governance and management • Easier to persuade boards? • Useful stepping stone? • Reversible • Does it solve financial problems?
22.
Nov-14©LCVS 22 Due
diligence • Constitutional Objects Powers Members • Structural Corporate/unincorporated
23.
Nov-14©LCVS 23 Due
diligence: staff • TUPE • New staff structure? • The new CEO? • Pensions Defined benefit pension schemes Deal breaker?
24.
Due diligence: contracts/funding
• Contract of funding agreement • Consent (funding agreements) • Assignment v novation (contracts) • Risk – value? • Third party suppliers Nov-14©LCVS 24
25.
Nov-14©LCVS 25 Due
diligence: land • Freehold/leasehold property Restrictions on disposition Charges Condition • Permanent endowment • Other special trusts
26.
Nov-14©LCVS 26 Due
diligence: other issues • Intellectual property e.g. brands • Data protection e.g. consent to transfer • Litigation/disputes • Insurance • Information technology • Trading company • Investments • Tax/VAT
27.
Nov-14©LCVS 27 Merger
agreements • Warranties and indemnities Purpose Importance of due diligence process • Conditions Regulators – consents/registration Consents from funders/contractors Member approval • Pre-assignment/novation/consent • TUPE • Announcements
28.
Nov-14©LCVS 28 Post
merger • Notifications Banks Contractors Regulators Register of charity mergers? • Final accounts • Winding up/striking off (NB Legacies)
29.
Nov-14©LCVS 29 Tips
for collaboration • Agree a shared vision • Strategic and organisational fit • Must be a business case • Leadership • Recognising human factors • Good communications e.g. consult staff and service users • Identifying deal breakers • Clear plans for process and beyond • Establishment of clear partnership / collaboration arrangements • Sensitivity to different organisational cultures
30.
Nov-14©LCVS 30 Key
message • There are many ways to collaborate • Formal or informal • Merger is not always the answer • Start a dialogue early • Give yourself time • Don’t be afraid to end negotiations
