It’s only a matter of time before your Board pops the question:
How are we doing with those companies we acquired last year? Have we created value for our shareholders, e.g. incremental revenue, cost savings, new offerings, new markets?
If, like so many others, your answer is “Hard to say,” “Depends on who you ask,” or “Not as well as we should. And it would take a lot of time and effort to provide an objective, fact-based response,” this webinar is for you.
Join Ted Sullivan, Senior Director at Virtas Partners, Lauren Johnson, Vice President Integration at Advocate Health, and Charles Cautley, Chief Product Officer at Midaxo, as they discuss how companies can more effectively identify, track and close gaps between the promised synergies and those actually delivered after closing.
On July 31 at 11:30am ET | 15:30 GMT | 16:30 BST | 17:30 CET you will learn:
- How to define value for the purpose of delivering promised benefits
- Best practices for creating metrics, reports and processes to assign and track accountability across the end-to-end deal lifecycle, from target identification to due diligence to post-merger integration
- Best practices for managing post-merger integration activities to deliver greater value more quickly
- How to think about the role of AI in better delivering the value of your deals
