Merger, Acquisition and Divestiture activity can be a defining force and a key strategic lever for successful corporations. Despite this knowledge, few organizations see business integration or separation as a core competency.
This is where Centric Consulting can help. At Centric, we are uniquely qualified and experienced in business integration and separation. We understand the complexities of managing the integration and separation process. We partner with companies to maximize the value of the deal through a dedicated focus on meeting objectives.
While theoretically, the steps are not complicated, M&A integration and divestiture separation should not be underestimated. Focusing on vital integration components can greatly improve a company’s chances of delivering on targeted benefits.
