Build Lasting Structures

M&A Programs That Strengthen Your Organization

For all but a few firms, acquisitions will be infrequent events. We help you build core competencies in your business that will benefit you immediately and consistently, regardless of your acquisition cadence. When an acquisition opportunity arises, you will have the tools you need to make it successful without having to rebuild your M&A program from scratch.

     •   Scouting programs that strengthen your competitive awareness.
     •   Due diligence methods that improve your documentation and technical decision-making.
     •   Knowledge sharing mechanisms that improve coordination and up-skill your employees.
     •   Organizational structures that improve employee retention.

Firms with successful M&A programs often have these systems in place or create them early in their M&A journey. We help demystify the process and make it accessible to your organization so that you can build an M&A program that is ready to go when you need it.

Our Approach: Build Lasting Structures

M&A, especially programmatic M&A, requires building organizational core competencies that will outlast any single team member (or consultant). We guide you through every step of successful acquisitions, from scouting to technical due diligence to integration and alignment, and help you build an acquisition program that will last.

Strategy and Scouting

Great M&A prgrams start with a clearly articulated strategy and market hypothesis. We help you build a scouting program that aligns with your strategy, leveraging process and AI tools to find the right acquisition targets.

Due Diligence

Our approach to due diligence goes beyond checkboxes, providing clear insights into culture, competencies, and personnel. With experience in over 45 successful acquisitions, we can help you get the answers you need to make an acquisition decision.

Integrations

Our focus on pre-acquisition integration planning and organizational design reduces uncertainty and eases post-acquisition integrations. We can help you through any challenges that arise to reduce churn and improve outcomes.
