Leveraging the in-depth insight from the Comprehensive Strategic, Operational, and Commercial Due Diligence, and our extensive industrial expertise, we summarize the realistic business plan, potential strategic initiatives, and actions that can be taken after you acquire or divest an asset. These will be built in the context of your strategy, macroeconomic environment, industrial niche growth potential, and the cyclicality of the business. We will be able to recognize potential synergy effects that can be gained or lost by combining this asset into your existing business and asset network. It is not a complete plan, as we do not have sufficient information about your available human and capital resources, but a set of actionable ideas from which we jointly can choose the most adequate set of day one strategic initiatives and actions.
We focus on providing you with framework of ideas that answer following questions: What will business be like in medium term? How can it grow? Which units, customer segments, geographical areas should I focus on? What kind of further investments of resources I need to make to yield the full potential of the opportunity? What are critical integration risks and challenges? What value can I get combining it with my existing business? Where can I improve efficiency or productivity? Can I cross-sell / up-sell more products or service from my existing business?
You will know what to do with the asset from day one!
Depending on the critical scope and the necessary speed of delivery, the Synergy and Integration Framework can be developed in parallel with the Comprehensive Strategic, Operational, and Commercial Due Diligence or in a separate step after the decision to proceed with bidding has been made.
Typically, the document is 3 to 5 pages long, delivered in .pdf form, accompanied by supporting spreadsheet analyses or excerpts from macroeconomic or industry reports. It is made for the executive team, which will be in charge of the acquisition or divestment process, and should be used to adjust further valuation of the business. This framework is the basis for the development of action plans to be managed by functional or local management, which is responsible for the execution of the integration or divestment process.
