M&A Strategy

Driving profitable growth

Like the art of tightrope walking, merger and acquisition strategy demands skill and sequencing—with only one chance to get it right.

Driving growth and improving competitive positioning requires prioritising strategic objectives by making clear choices, and defining key results that measure what matters.

Make or break

Deloitte’s Nordic M&A Strategy team works with senior executives to define how they employ M&A, in alignment with corporate strategy, to drive profitable growth and enable them to compete effectively.

Knowing where you want to compete and how you plan to win is essential to defining an effective path and identifying strategic acquisition targets.

Where relevant, we work closely with our financial, tax, technology and human capital colleagues to provide insights that inform your M&A strategy.
 

M&A Strategy Services

  • Corporate strategy
    To give the M&A strategy clear guidance, we can help you refine your corporate strategy by identifying current and future growth opportunities, evaluating competitive market position, and seeking portfolio-improvement opportunities.
  • Inorganic growth paths
    We can help you define areas that require inorganic growth to leverage market opportunities by analysing competitor actions and customer demands. We can then help identify opportunities for horizontal and vertical integration or diversification that can improve competitive advantage.
  • Target profiles
    We can help articulate characteristics of a model target by identifying capabilities within the organization that need enhancing, as well as those the company cannot afford to undermine through an acquisition.

  • Investment thesis
    Finally we can help challenge the investment thesis by playing "devil's advocate" and testing deal drivers, assumptions, and "what if" scenarios.
