What is the cost of a single overlooked M&A integration task?
M&A Integration - During M&A integration, company management must juggle strategy, organization, and systems, along with day-to-day business operations. We employ our Project:100 Day® Integration Methodology and provide workstream leaders to address the many challenges faced.
Business Sale Preparation - Exit Planning - When preparing a business for sale, the Owner/CEO needs to approach the exit strategy with the same focus and drive that helped build the business. Unfortunately, statistics show that the majority of businesses that go to market don't sell, leaving those businesses without solid options. However, an Owner or CEO who is “ready” with an attractive business greatly increases the odds that the business will find a serious buyer.
Business Continuity Planning - Many organizations have information technology recovery plans, but we have found that many fail to address business process continuity. Our professionals design high-level Emergency Operations Plans and detailed Business Continuity Plans that address the real impacts on business operations in the event of an incident.
Business Process Optimization - Companies are under pressure from owners and investors to boost ROI. Our professionals have extensive experience in pursuing additional performance-improvement benefits in various industries. They understand the real-world pressures managers often face to optimize their processes, the complexities of business environments… as well as the art of the possible.
Business Emergency Operations Planning - We have found that many closely-held private companies fail to develop a Business Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), a set of instructions that can be delivered to the Owner/Operator's family, management team, accountants, attorneys, and other advisors in the event that he/she is suddenly unable to manage the business.
Divestiture and Carve-Out - Companies sometimes choose to realign their business models and carve out divisions, subsidiaries or specific business operations. We provide tactical support throughout the divestiture phase to execute timely separations by identifying the shared systems and processes and in providing action plans for separating them cleanly.
