The maths is pretty simple…
You want a merger to result in 1 + 1 = 3.
Although a merger can provide the scale, resources and capabilities to accelerate your growth, they can sometimes fail to live up to the hype.
That’s because it’s more than just a maths exercise. Synergies on their own are not enough. Even with combined scale and complementary strengths, many mergers will struggle.
Successful mergers are ones where both parties involved depend on each other and bring something unique (and valuable) to the table.
It’s this kind of merger where each business can stay true to its core, while benefiting from shared scale AND capabilities – it’s the best of both worlds.
