THINKING OF M&A OR BUSINESS INTEGRATIONS

 THINKING OF M&A OR BUSINESS INTEGRATIONS

If you are planning an M&A spree you will ostensibly need 3 groups of people ...

Group1 - who find, appraise, negotiate, acquire businesses as part of M&A acquisition process. These people will look at businesses differently to those who simply operate the business. Like a mechanic will look at a car differently to a driver.

Group2 - who post-acquisition integrate people, products, services, technology, legal, marketing etc. These people have the design template for how each acquisition should be integrated and a 90 day plan (?) for implementation .

Step 1 - Assemble the Project Team
Step 2 - Understand the Strategy
Step 3 - Review the Products and Services
Step 4 - Review the Support, Partners and Suppliers
Step 5 - Review the Organisation Structure
Step 6 - Review the Company Structure
Step 7 - Prepare the Service Teams
Step 8 - Communications
Step 9 - Culture and Process Change
Step 10 - Review and Migrate the Customers, Products and Services

Group3 - who run day-to-day business after all the post-acquisition integration complete and following standard policies, processes, procedures etc.

The role, skills, qualifications, thinking and time-horizon of each are quite different. As consultants we can help with the design, as project managers with the delivery, and as coaches we can support the people.
