Situation
- The client was in the final stages of finalizing a new acquisition which was intended to fill a number of portfolio gaps as well as introduce new commercial capabilities
- Managers were aware that traditionally with acquisitions through the integration process, the business many times broke apart the acquired business and in doing so likely destroyed value
- SLKone was hired to design, review and facilitate a decision-making process to create a strategic integration plan
Bespoke Solutions
- SLKone reviewed both the Long Range Strategic Plans for the acquirer and target business to identify key differentiators
- People, organizational structures, Process and Tools were evaluated for their contribution to key differentiators as areas to protect
- From this insight a range of integration scenarios were developed and reviewed through financial and organization Key Process Indicators (KPIs) as well as Pros, Cons, Risks & Opportunities
Leading With Results
