Studies continue to confirm most acquisitions do not return their cost of capital. Yet, a majority of CEO’s believe transactions are a key component in implementing strategy. Is this an unavoidable disconnect?

The answer is “no,” assuming transaction risk is managed properly. Successful transactions require meticulous attention to detail and a laser like focus. However, when demands to compress transaction process times surface, the result is often a compromise in the levels of detail and a distorted focus. This path almost always leads to impaired execution.
Since many transactions lack their desired effect, execution requires careful strategic analysis and intense management of the transaction process. Managing the multiple phases of a transaction (identifying hot issues, understanding accounting and tax implications, negotiating, closing, integrating and communicating value proposition) is best done when all the key processes are identified and the proper resources are in place to handle multiple intricacies.
