The Team KPMG's Integration Advisory Team works with both acquirers and vendors on pre- and post-deal Integration and Separation issues related to M&A or similar transactions. There are five key proposition areas: - Synergy evaluation - understanding the potential benefits and costs of a transaction. - Pre-completion planning - developing high level plans for the first 100 days by workstream, setting up programme governance and developing Day 1 plans to take control. - First 100 days and long term implementation - fully mobilised integration team with a prioritised set of opportunities and realisation of quick wins. - Second wave integration - a refocused, re-energised integration process to capture the originally envisaged benefits of the deal. - Demerger and Separation - understanding the separation options and giving assistance to deliver a credible, discrete standalone entity on Day 1 with value preserved and business continuity ensured. We work closely alongside our colleagues within KPMG's Transaction Services who conduct financial, commercial and operational due diligence, providing an integrated and value-adding service to our clients to help make their transactions successful. We work regularly on 'front page headline' deals for a client base comprising a wide range of publicly listed corporates, private companies, private equity houses and public sector organisations.
