Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) Strategy

Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are among the most complex, high-stakes strategic choices a company can make, yet they frequently fail to deliver the expected shareholder value. This advanced course provides a rigorous, strategy-first framework for evaluating, structuring, and executing M&A deals that align with and accelerate corporate strategy. Participants will move beyond tactical deal mechanics to focus on defining a clear strategic rationale, conducting effective target due diligence, and mastering the critical challenge of post-merger integration (PMI). The program emphasizes how to create synergistic value and avoid the common pitfalls that erode deal returns.
