About Deal Value Creation:

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are vital strategic levers to enhance the value of a business—whether to generate growth, enhance capabilities or reduce operational costs. It is also a chance for business transformation, adopting new business models, workflows, and workplace cultures.

Increased disruptions, industry convergence, technological changes, and the dramatic shift to new business models to stay competitive mean that value creation in deals has never been more critical. With the bar getting higher and deals becoming more complex and expensive, creating deal value in M&A is more challenging than ever.

Many deals fail to achieve their original financial or strategic objectives or, in many cases, tend to even minimise value, as companies are ill-prepared for the speed and intensity of the deal process.
