MAXIMIZING TRANSACTIONAL VALUE

​

The sale of a business or a strategic business unit requires detailed planning before, during, and after the transaction. Increased competition for strategic and undervalued assets means it’s no longer enough for trusted advisors to simply identify and evaluate sustainable value opportunities. In today’s environment, they must do so in a rapid and efficient way.

 

To meet these higher demands, Stelnicki provides strategy solution services which:

​

• Bridge the gap between traditional financial statements and the strategic and operational decisions that drive them;

• Reduce the time it takes to study and evaluate each new opportunity, yielding tactical operating plans more quickly so operating executives can achieve more rapid results; and

• Leverage learning across similar industries, stages, and situations

​

Following a transaction, senior executives, boards of directors, and owners are faced with the challenge of delivering synergies, transforming established leadership teams, aligning distinct organizational cultures, establishing joint operational processes, and uniting disparate technological systems into a unified whole. Our integration experts work with senior leadership as early as possible in the transaction to identify the people, process, culture, and technology infrastructure necessary to support the new entity’s strategic goals.

​

To drive successful integrations, our professionals can establish a program team to temporarily oversee the development, execution, and monitoring of comprehensive integration plans ranging from pre-close and day 1 readiness to integration roadmaps and detailed cross-functional project plans. We continue working with the leadership team to align corporate culture, organizational capabilities, and performance and incentive systems. Our integration experts guide our clients as they bring focus and clarity to new roles, responsibilities, and processes throughout the organization.

​

If an organization’s strategy is to have a platform business with multiple add-ons, our experienced consultants work with senior leaders to define integration objectives, scope, and phasing designed to mitigate business disruption, ensure effective integration, and optimize to achieve growth targets. We support scaled growth through the development of customized integration playbooks to equip the organization for appropriate standardization and acceleration of future additions.

​

When a carve-out, spin-off, or liquidation is the best option, speed is often required to maximize deal value. We mitigate the risks inherent in these situations by leading the design and execution of work-stream plans for separating the organizations, transitioning services, and closing on schedule.

​
