“M&A deals often achieve sub-optimal outcomes given the need to navigate significant complexity over the entire deal life cycle to value realisation. Poor integration is often one of the key drivers of loss of value versus an initial investment case. Acquirers need a clear vision for value creation over the short to long term and this vision should drive deal activity.”
