M&A is tough, especially when it involves an underperforming asset that needs a turnaround. About 40% of all deals require some kind of turnaround. With M&A valuations now at record levels, companies must pay higher prices simply to get a deal done. In this environment, leaders need a highly structured approach to put the odds in their favor.
