Oser & Company Consulting

Presenter: Tom Oser, Founder and CEO, Oser and Company Consulting

Topic Overview: Early days in the business mergers and acquisitions, saw that private equity only had to bring 10% of the value of a deal to the table, load it up with debt, and then cash out almost immediately upon closing the deal at a fantastic profit - simply on the financial engineering to ensured success - of the deal makers.  But today, private equity players like  Henry Kravis (co-founder of KKR - some of the original "Barbarians at the Gate") speak about how their deals now are at 30% and 40% required capital into the deal ... so to get the returns they have to stay in the business and achieve true value growth in the businss before they can exit.

Imagine that --- deal makers having to consider making post merger integration work!

Tom Oser will address the challenges of M&A evaluation of deals in the estimation of risk of integration as a function of complexity of the businesses, among other factors.   The rise of standard models and techniques for Business Process Management makes it possible to consistently address:

• Capacity of business capabilities to effectively integrate in post merger situations
  

• Resilience of the business to maintain focus on the merger integration long past the first quarter of effort.

• How the CIO of the company holds the key data and process keys to integration success, and if he or she decides to step up, makes the difference in achieving post-merger synergies that the deal originally predicted.
  

Client experiences involving advisory services and execution in post-merger environments.  This discussion included real case situations.
