Transaction Implementation
The ultimate business driver in any business transaction is added shareholder value. In the case of a merger or acquisition transaction, this is achieved through market synergies and cost reductions resulting from combining two similar or complementary businesses. Critical to achieving that objective is the speed of execution in combining the two entities. One of the most important success drivers to that is the perception that the transaction is being implemented by professionals who are neutral parties. FTG is heavily experienced in assisting clients to impartially assess business operations and to implement change brought about by a wide variety of transactions.
Our project approach to Transaction Implementation typically includes:
- Interviewing the functional department heads of the combining entities;
- Gaining a factual understanding of the operating strengths and weaknesses of the people, processes and technology platforms in each functional department of both entities;
- Comparing and assessing which functional department of each company is better suited to support the going forward business strategy of the combined companies;
- Developing a transitional and final implantation plan; and
- Managing and staffing a Program Management Office through the completion of the entire transaction implementation effort.
