Transforming During a Transaction

Many companies miss the opportunity to transform during a transaction due to a focus on standalone operations. It is important to consider if transformation is right for the next M&A transaction, as it can catalyze corporate-wide change. Mergers offer the chance to pursue value unlocking, revenue growth, and change catalysts. Companies should set high aspirations, develop a bankable plan, establish an execution engine, and build foundational capabilities for sustainable transformation.
