The strategic importance of M&A continues to grow. As the uncertainty caused by the combination of high interest rates, valuations, and political uncertainty reduces we are set for M&A activity to surge.
Are you ready?
Multiple analyst studies have identified six behaviors that are the foundation for successful M&A programs.
The most successful programs:
1. Align M&A strategies with their corporate strategies.
2. Set go/no-go criteria for each stage of a deal.
3. Gather information about revenue and cost synergies at several points in the M&A process.
4. Dedicate more time to aligning people, getting buy-in, and developing measurements during an integration.
5. Have clear, accountable owners for each phase of the M&A process.
6. Use playbooks to codify and leverage knowledge gained from previous M&A deals
Probably no big surprises here; however, implementing these best practices in the real world can be difficult.
It does not have to be.
Join Midaxo M&A experts Charles Cautley and special guests in this recording as they demonstrate how to put these recommendations into everyday practice.
