WATER STREET HELPS CLIENTS NAVIGATE JOINT VENTURE LAUNCH PLANNING AND INTEGRATION.
A quarter century ago, companies awoke to the fact that success in M&A hinged upon running a highly deliberate and well-orchestrated post-merger integration process. Serial acquirers like ABB, General Electric, Lloyds TSB, Thomson Reuters, Tyco International, and Waste Management realized that there was a right way – and a wrong way – to integrate companies. They built detailed M&A integration processes, developed playbooks, captured learnings, and continuously improved their integration approach.
Launch is every bit as important in JVs.
Our research has shown that the trajectory of JV success is almost always established during launch planning and execution, and that mistakes made during this phase can easily erode up to 50% of venture value.
Drawing on our experience and proprietary tools, Water Street helps clients define and execute the launch process. Our support includes:
- Overall Launch and Integration Process Development
- Post-Merger Management
- Strategy Alignment
- Cultural Integration
- Talent Management and Employee Value Proposition
