Focus topics
Besides our general consulting services, we focus on selected topics with special relevance to organizational and corporate development and competence building.
Focus topic: Post merger - competence
In 2010 the M&A market recovered and regained the pre-crisis level.
By the same token, it is well known and often cited that between 50% and 70 % of all merger projects are failing with regard to the realization of the targets set in the pre-merger phase.
We help businesses and M&A responsibles to successfully realize the post merger integration phase of planned and ongoing mergers & acquisitions.
What makes our proposal different? We regard merger competence as a unique and defined management competence that intelligently combines strategy, HR, process, project and communication competences.
Our target partners and clients are middle and top managers of medium- and large corporations. Many of these companies frequently merge with and acquire other companies to grow in their markets and technologies, yet they do not employ permanent in-house M&A teams.
These are our proposals to professionalize merger competence:
- Executive seminars on merger competence
Most top managers have experienced mergers and acquisitions earlier in their careers. Based on this past expertise, we select and analyze demanding PMI-cases to advance and further qualify leadership and management potentials of your executive and top management team.
- Management seminars on merger competence
As designated M&A project manager you are asked to design PMI project architectures and layout integration processes according to defined merger targets; you are responsible for HR activities e.g. retention programs and you organize all change communications. In this seminar you will learn basics and expert knowledge of merger competence and PMI excellence. You will add new tools to your (PMI-) project management tool-kit and be ready to manage large PMI processes.
- Strategic and hands-on PMI process consulting:
As PMI experts, we assist and support all of your PMI activities, that is preparatory activities prior to the closing, i.e. providing PMI risk profiles and suggesting counter action, drafting of retention schemes and preparing the PMI project and communications. After the signing, we support your PMI project realization by optimizing processes, synergies, integration and communication and we actively intervene in and help to resolve possible conflicts.
