Resource organization and standardization. We codify transactions and establish standardized integration and divestiture strategies and processes, supporting tools, and methodologies for deal execution.

Functional engagement models. We advise when different organizational functions should be engaged in the integration or divestiture process, their specific roles, the deliverables they can contribute, and the skills and resources they bring to the table.

Synergies and benefits identification and tracking mechanisms. The tools we provide for setting and monitoring deal expectations include standardized processes to identify revenue and cost benefits, methodologies to quantify and assign accountability, and go-forward tracking mechanisms and reporting on synergy progress and attainment.
