Ensuring Return on Your Investment
How many times do you hear statistics quoted around the majority of mergers and acquisitions that fail to deliver a return? It is a common theme.
There are many potential causes, which may include a lack of focus on the realisation of benefits or that the implementation has deviated from strategy. However, if your post-merger integration has gone off track it does not mean that all is lost.
What You Get
You will get a thorough review of the current status of your transaction, identifying the precise benefits that can be derived, as things now stand. This includes:
- Identification of the additional benefits and synergies that can be derived.
- Identification of realistic, tangible, measurable and achievable synergies.
- An action plan to realise these additional and remaining benefits and synergies.
The Benefits for You
After the completion of the Post-Deal Benefits Realisation Review you will:
- Know exactly what the additional benefits are that can be derived from your transaction;
- Know exactly where those benefits will come from; and
- Have a clear plan to ensure those benefits are captured and realised.
Experince shows us that this service is usually self-financing as the additional benefits identified usually exceed the fees for our services. Otherwise, why would we be doing it?
Our Approach
Our approach is to:
- Analyse the transaction over three time periods – pre, during, and post deal;
- Analyse the transaction from two dimensions – the integration approach taken and the benefits delivered against deal strategy;
- Perform further quantitative and qualitative analysis of the transaction; and
- Perform a detailed regression analysis of synergies to determine precisely how they can be captured and what the underlying business drivers are.
You then get a final report identifying where future value can be secured, the risks and opportunities to success, and an action plan to realise the additional benefits.
