Disruption and change are here to stay. Intense competition, ever-increasing shareholder expectations and digital innovations are driving leaders to rethink strategy. The result is an urgent need to adapt that in turn fuels increased inorganic transformation through deals.

 

At the same time, increasing complexity and cross-border dynamics make it difficult to realize value in M&A strategies. Assessing internal capabilities and preparing well in advance of inking any deals is critical to success.
