Program Brief

To assess a potential merger and deliver the best deal, you must value the target company accurately, as well as negotiate effectively and apply proven concepts and tools to confidently enter the process. In this training program, participants will learn how to determine a target company’s worth, both in itself and to organisation. In addition, the program will cover how to use value fundamentals and free cash flow valuations, how to evaluate potential synergies between companies and the value they might bring, as well as how to finance the deal, focusing on highly leveraged transactions, and exploring debt capacity and affordable bid. The program also focuses on how to prepare for negotiations, the importance of effective leadership during the deal-making process, and how to assess bid tactics and the frameworks to predict and influence behaviour. Ideal for financial advisors, strategists, or anyone looking to advance in high-stakes investment roles, this program also provides a prestigious certificate from London Business School.

Program Goals

At the end of the training program, the participant should be able to:

  • Explore the role of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within your corporate strategy.
  • Assess targets realistically, value target companies, assess bid tactics and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Approach the negotiation process skillfully and come away with the best deal.
  • Manage cultural and system challenges arising post-acquisition and understand key drivers for on-going success.
