Selecting The Best Targets Pre-deal: What kinds of acquisitions should we be making, and why? Are the proposed benefits of the deal realistic and achievable?
Our one-day training course will help you address the following questions:
Is this deal in the best interests of our business long-term, and at the right price? Why has my last acquisition not delivered to expectations, and what can I do to improve the situation next time? Over and above being a good strategic fit, is the target business - and its leadership – really going to be able to deliver beyond integration?
Preparing The Businesses For Integration Pre-close: What objectives and priorities will need to be set to achieve my acquisition goals post-close? How should the combined business look, feel, and operate once the deal is done? How should integration be structured and planned to realise the ultimate acquisition objectives while minimising cost, risk and disruption to the on-going business? How will integration costs, benefits and risks impact my P&L and balance sheet over the next few years? How do I prepare my own business and the leadership team so that they are capable of managing integration and the new, larger business?
Integrating To Retain Value & Deliver Benefits Post-close: How can we be ready for Day 1 and the first few steps post-close? How can integration be delivered and managed alongside business as usual? How important will culture and communications be to the success of this deal, and what should I do about it? How do I retain and motivate people within both businesses during the difficult changes ahead? How do I build strong management teams across the deal divide? How can I be sure integration is delivering the goods with minimum disruption to operations? How can I make course corrections quickly to address unexpected problems? How should I address specific issues such as branding, headcount reduction, relocation, IT and HR? How do we make the most of our experience of past deals; and how can we learn to do it better for ourselves in the future?

Session Agenda
Developing an Acquisition and Integration Strategy Setting and Measuring Integration Objectives Target Assessment and Integration Due Diligence
“The course was full of comprehensive knowledge and the sharing of materials and experiences in a confidential environment. For a senior M&A practitioner the structure of the day provides an insightful opportunity to update your global capability and to reflect on processes that you could integrate into your established “toolkit”. For anyone new to M&A or who is still developing their career in this area the day provides a unique learning experience. All attendees leave with materials including templates that can be immediately applied in their organisation. Carlos and Lynda have complementary skills. Their approach to limiting each course to a small number of delegates allows for a more enriching day”.
