High-level targeting, detailed planning and robust tracking to drive synergies.
At A&M, we focus on three key enablers to identifying and achieving synergies - all on an after-tax basis.
High-level Targeting. Pre-deal, we support rapid top-down synergy analysis that determines the range of targeted savings and integration costs for each business and functional area.
Detailed Planning. Next, our seasoned teams validate specific value drivers and baselines via detailed, bottoms-up synergy planning. This exercise quantifies and helps prioritize synergy initiatives and informs integration plans.
Robust Tracking. Identifying value does not equal capturing value. That’s why we’ve perfected our tools and approach to create a clear and repeatable process to track synergies. And to ensure value capture doesn’t end when the consultants leave, we embed synergy tracking into the business processes that drive accountability.
