Making informed M&A decisions requires a thorough analysis which covers micro and macro insights which lead to strategic and tactical actions.
Our proprietary MOSAIC framework can be followed to ensuring that you deliver a high ROI on your acquisition research investment, when considering or planning for an acquisition, merger or joint venture.
Effective acquisitions require a clear set of objectives and a foundation of insights, provided by our research. The strategy is the plan by which the objectives will be achieved. A detailed action plan is required as to who will do what, by when and the resources needed.
The Implementation stage is arguably where plans are most likely to fail. Successful implementation requires support at all levels and especially from the top of the organisation. Finally, controls must be in place to ensure that the actions are implemented. The controls will point to a need for a change in direction, should this be required.
