M&A Integration Support
While a successful merger or acquisition can be a shortcut to dramatic increases in revenue and profitably, the challenges associated with achieving these benefits are well documented. Figures vary but it is generally accepted that no more than 50% of businesses ever achieve the objectives they set themselves.
This high failure rate is usually due to a combination of factors including:
- Problems in strategic planning or the due diligence process
- Delays in appointing a new management team or setting clear post M&A accountabilities
- The marginalisation of business users and / or key customers
- Lack of appreciation of the technical and operational complexities facing the new organisation
- Shortage of staff with the appropriate skills
Most businesses face these issues with limited previous hands-on experience of mergers and acquisitions and (as is often the case) there is no substitute for past, sometimes painful, experience.
