Synergy Assessments and Realisation

Overview

From the inception of a deal, the purpose of an M&A is to create synergies in the long run by increasing market share, broadening the customer base, and enhancing the financial strength of the business.

Beyond the excitement of chasing and closing the deal, its success depends on astute planning and timely execution to generate expected returns and synergies. Planning for and focusing on synergy management during the pre-deal stage ensures that synergy objectives are well-aligned with the execution strategy. 

Dealmakers should be cognizant of the fact that synergies across the areas of procurement, production, logistics and supply chain are the low-hanging fruits that can kick-start benefit realisation and build momentum in realising synergies.
