M&A Path

Our operating model design supports Day 1 readiness with a centralised and streamlined set-up of the overall operating and organisation models - from Current State to Day 1, Interim and End State, via:

• Setting the overall operational and organisational model design context and strategy
• Capturing strategic Operating Model design objectives and principles
• Creating and designing multiple versions of operating models, e.g. Current, Day 1, Interim and End State in a centralised and streamlined manner
• Capturing the strategic assessment (people, process, data and reporting, assets, systems, and contracts) and functional strategy for each operating model element

Our program management office ensures the deal intent is delivered via a customised real-time project management module (specifically designed for M&A)

A fully connected "web" of the core information required to deliver the program against your original value hypothesis, including:

• Ability to create, edit and track program delivery against your value case, hypotheses, initiatives, tasks
• Visualise the workplan in real-time for everyone to stay informed and keep track of the integration, "zooming in and out" from task to program level
• View the program against multiple critical paths simultaneously e.g. Conditions Precedent, Day 1, Day 100, TSA exit date etc.
• Manage risks, issues, actions and decisions at all levels within centralised RAID logs. These can be tagged to relevant owners, workstreams and initiatives and summarised in an automated output dashboard
• Value tracking through the bottom-up build of the value case, flowing through to program, workstream and sub-workstream dashboards

Our dashboard helps you be in the know with access to real-time analytics and financials throughout the deal lifecycle, including:

• Real-time project dashboard at the workstream level, covering:
  • Current/prior status updates and live commentary
  • Milestone completion tracking
  • RAID snapshot, with ability to "zoom in" to view and edit specific items
• Real-time financial dashboards, covering:
  • Cumulative views of value across recurring items (Revenue, Cost, FTE) and one-off costs (OpEx, CapEx)
  • Program, workstream and sub-worksteam level reporting
  • Monthly, quarterly and annual financial tracking
  • Comparison of target, forecast and actual value
