Mergers, Acquisitions, Integration and Change

This entirely new, exciting, interactive and immersive training course is about much more than Mergers and Acquisitions (M and A) and will give you the skills, strategies, tools, insights and methodologies to effect Mergers and Acquisitions successfully despite the high global failure rate of 80% that has consistently prevailed over the past 25 years. This is only half the story because the change and integration processes that are necessary for successful amalgamation of the 2 or more entities into a cohesive whole fail 85% of the time according to Price Waterhouse Coopers. This Mergers, Acquisitions, Integration and Change training course shows you which change management methodologies to use, how to deploy and use them to mitigate risks, extract value from synergies quickly with minimal disruption, create competitive edge, create new brands, protect your reputation and outsource, automate, sell off, carve out or eliminate those elements of the business which no longer suit your purpose or which have greater monetary value as standalone entities. The training course’s approach to valuation is not accountancy or legally driven, critical as those elements are, but instead is focussed on discovering those additional factors which represent determinants of value which are nearly always missed but represent the means to arrive at true value.

This Mergers, Acquisitions, Integration and Change training course contains methods which dramatically increase the odds for success including methods for dealing with adverse media coverage, dealing with resistance from disruptive employees, maintaining performance, productivity and efficiency during the “dip”, grooming the merged company or yours to become more attractive to corporate suitors and future proofing the newly created business against shocks, the actions of competitors, emulators by creating greater resilience, faster operational tempo and “windows of invulnerability”.

This Mergers, Acquisitions, Integration and Change training course will feature:

• How to decide whether to merge or acquire or continue to use organic growth methods
• Selecting the right targets for the right reasons
• Finding the value through knowledge of ALL relevant factors not just finances and legal considerations
• How to effect integration and change effectively using the right change models, future proofing and communications whilst using standards to protect embedded value, leverage scale economies, improve processes, reduce cycle times, increase performance, drive efficiencies and ensure that only the best people are retained to drive the newly created company forward
• Protecting intellectual property, trademarks, brand values, dealing with employment law, regulation and the roles/utility of directors and senior managers, sites and structures

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
