Mergers & Acquisitions are a common strategic approach, but one with a low success rate – only 15% are classed as succeeding in generating the planned performance and 58% actually reduce value. M&As can be performed to reduce overall costs while delivering equivalent value, or to create new value which neither organisation could deliver alone. Delivering both simultaneously can present significant challenges as cost cutting is often achieved through standardisation and synergies are generally delivered through creative exploitation of difference.
Fractal models both organisations to improve the ability to predict cost savings and / or synergies from M&A, and to assist post-merger integration.
