Back to Basics 8: Resourcing Integration from within your own Business

Having discussed what and when, an equally critical consideration is who. Some organisations will try to conduct M&A and integration entirely in-house, believing they can do it all themselves. Others will outsource most if not all of the exercise to professional service groups, hoping the entire exercise can be done by someone else on their behalf. Both extremes typically fail when tried; the best outcomes are found somewhere in the middle…but where exactly? In this, the eighth in our Back to Basics podcast series, Louise Cooper and Diana Chiang join Carlos Keener to provide BTD’s thoughts and experience on where outside resources can add the most value pre-close and beyond the deal, and offer practical tips to help business leaders find the right balance for their business that maximises deal performance while minimising risk and disruption to business as usual.CLICK HERE to follow us on LinkedInwww.btd.consulting
