How to Make Shrewd Acquisitions (Ones That Propel Performance)
Acquisitions are a great way to grow, allowing companies to shave years off of what would be required through organic growth. They can also bring in hard-to-find talent, remove competitors, drive costs down and a host of other strategic objectives.
They can also destroy your company. About half of all acquisitions fail and at best, the failure is painful and diverts management attention from the real drivers of the business.
The key is to make shrewd acquisitions—the right acquisitions that truly help your business, and that your team is ready to tackle. This keynote will share the nuggets from some significant middle market research completed by Robert Sher recently.
What you will learn:
- Steps to tie acquisitions to corporate strategy.
- How to spot high-risk acquisitions before it’s too late.
- How to prepare your team and company to be a savvy acquirer.
- Critical steps to master in the acquisitions process, both before closing and afterwards.
