... And a Report Card for Your Company's Performance
For decades it's remained the same: most diligence teams simply take their work and either “throw it over the wall” or “hand it off” to the integration team -- and these practices have eroded value from the announcement forward. Additionally, the lack of planning and preparation on the part of leadership prior to the deal announcement and launch of integration activities creates a situation of instability and uncertainty for everyone involved in the transaction.
There is an art to building a bridge to full-on integration.
Deal teams and integration teams must implement “4 Key Strategies” in order to successfully capture the value anticipated by the stakeholders.
We invite you to learn these and other insights from the experienced M&A panelists at this, the first presentation in our webinar series, "Breakthroughs in the Art of M&A."
Meanwhile, below is a list of the essential criteria which need to be addressed in bridging from diligence to integration. This "report card" allows you to grade yourself, and will probably note an opportunity for significant improvement.
If you're ready to step up your game for the period from agreement to announcement, please join us:
