Corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) professionals -- whether they work at banks, in corporate development groups, or integration teams -- often complain that their industry is falling behind in modern process solutions. While M&A is becoming an increasingly accepted first-line growth strategy for companies around the world, and deal volume continues to set jaw-dropping new records quarter to quarter, the M&A industry itself has not adopted new innovations in technology or techniques since the late 1990s.It's time to bring M&A into the 21st century.The Agile M&A Practitioner's Guide lays forth a new vision for completing M&A initiatives in the information age: the Agile M&A Process Model. Created by industry veteran Kison Patel, the Agile M&A Process Model advocates applying the "agile" project management style first popularized in silicon valley to the M&A industry.The agile approach to project management was originally developed to address workflow inefficiencies in the software development industry. This approach is based around universally applicable operational values such as speed, flexibility, cross-functional transparency, and teamwork -- values which are perfectly suited to highly dynamic, informationally complex undertakings like M&A.As a project management style, agile has proven to be uniquely suited to the modern globalized business landscape, which is defined by its unpredictability, instantaneous communication, and focus on rapid growth and innovation. The success of the agile approach has led to its adoption throughout a variety of industries.In this book you will learn:► The complete history of agile and its advantages over traditional, programmatic approaches to project management.► How large tech firms like Google and Atlassian are already applying agile techniques to their internal M&A functions.► How to apply agile strategies over the course of the entire M&A lifecycle -- from the earliest stages of analyzing potential targets through the end of post-merger integration.► How to adapt established agile techniques like the daily standup, priority backlog, and team retrospectives to help support the M&A project.► How to use change management techniques to help your company transition to an agile project management style.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kison Patel is the Founder and CEO of M&A Science, with a passion to drive the M&A industry forward.

He was an M&A advisor for ten years in which he sold larger companies such as commercial banks and hotel chains. In 2012, he noticed teams lacked efficient technology to manage deals and created DealRoom, an M&A lifecycle management platform.

In 2016, he started the M&A Science podcast devoting his time to creating a platform where all the best practitioners could share their best practices and lessons learned from real-life deals. Kison then created The M&A Science Academy in 2020 to offer step by step training to those looking to master M&A featuring courses created by top level practitioners. Through developing technology, educational content, and industry training, Kison aims to bring better practices to an industry with growing market pressures, transaction values, and competition.

Livre moyennement intéressant pour les professionels m&a

Reviewed in France on February 4, 2022

Verified Purchase

Livre qui aborde les concepts de l'agilité m&a. Intéressant pour les non professionels.
Pour les professionels du m&a, vous n'apprendrez pas grand chose: il faut inclure plus les fonctions support, lancer la réflexion sur le PMI le plus en amont possible... concepts qui sont souvent évoqués dans des articles sur le sujet.

Rethinking M&A as we know it

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

This book was a real thought provoking read. It successfully argues the importance of rethinking an old and static M&A process into a new fluid one through Agile principles. By creating a process that is more adaptive and focused on collaboration, current bottlenecks that exist now can be virtually eliminated. By adopting this new agile approach, the book argues that more deals can be closed efficiently and effectively. Overall, this was a very informative read that could greatly change the way M&A deal process as we know it.

I had high hopes for the book as a private equity professional looking for for a way to be forward leaning in the MA process. However I was disappointed by the lack of information in this book.
