TOPIC: “The Synergy Solution: How Companies Win the Mergers and Acquisitions Game”

PRESENTED BY: Mark Sirower, Principal, Deloitte

M&A continues to be top of mind for financial and corporate development leaders as we live through the largest concentration of deals in industrial history — the numbers are staggering. Unfortunately, the results for acquirer’s shareholders, on average, are disappointing and can be traced back to a variety of problems. We will discuss the key themes of The Synergy Solution and the M&A cascade, including M&A strategy, valuation, Announcement Day, and integration that illustrate the required connectedness across the cascade.
