Drive synergy capture and mitigate risk with the right operating model.
In some M&A situations, deal strategy will require the rethinking of an entire function, division, or corporation to enable benefits. The right operating model will drive synergy capture and mitigate risk and / or litigation. The wrong one will delay capture of, or even eliminate deal synergies. At A&M, we treat operating model design as a critical activity linked directly to deal strategy.
Working closely with your leaders and the integration / separation management office, we help translate the business strategy that motivated your deal into the operating models and organization capabilities that deliver real value.
We understand that when it comes to people, it’s personal. That’s why we apply top-tier change management to identify how the deal will really impact employees, and work closely with client-teams to provide empathetic leadership and develop the plans that drive the necessary changes.
