19.09.2020 - 17.10.2020 - Ultimate M&A Integration Foundation Course

Build a strong M&A Integration in just 5-weeks.

There is going to be a big surge in M&A activities post the current crisis. Many companies with great IP will go belly up due to cash crunch and would be available for sale. On the other hand, there are companies that desperately need the capabilities that these cash-strapped companies can provide especially in the digital space.

More Details

However, research suggests that up to 4 out of 5 M&A transactions fail either due to overpaying for the acquisitions or failure of the integration program. And these are primarily due to overpaying for the acquisitions or failure of the integration program. A large of integrations suffer due to insufficient focus or lack of expertise in the following 5 factors

• Characterizing the right reasons for integration

• Insufficient and lack of comprehensive integration project design

• Horse trading of roles in organization design and Change management for impacted employees as an after-thought

• Culture mismatch

• Short-changing Revenue and Financial synergies

I have been part of many highly effective integrations. In fact, some of the best acquisition integrations are implemented by serial Fortune-500 companies who have converted the acquisition process into an art-form. By blending best-practices of Fortune-500 integrations with SME (and mid-market) business growth mentoring, we have created a 5 weeks comprehensive online training course on M&A Integration.

Schedule:

Lesson 1: Basics of inorganic growth and M&A as a strategy (19th Sept)

Lesson 2: Integration Design and Governance (26th Sept)

Lesson 3: Organization Design & Change Management (3rd Oct)

Lesson 4: Cultural Integration (10th Oct)

Lesson 5: Value synergies: Going beyond just cost synergies (17th Oct)

Each lesson will be 2 hours with theory, discussion, Q&A, and submission review. Every week, there will be assignments for the participants (2-3 hours effort) to drive a deeper learning experience.
