Is Your Acquisition Truly Strategic? How will You Realize Value from the New Asset? Who is Involved in the Integration Plan?
Successful acquisitions require good strategic fit, accurate and thorough due diligence, and organizationally involved integration, culturally and operationally as well as financially. With merger failure rates north of 70%, managerial and organizational experience is well known to be the elements that tip the scale. Equal to that experience are formal processes that form the routines and norms guiding decisions during the formation and implementation of an M&A deal. When a structured formation and integration process is well managed, the organization can realize value from the initiative.
