PRITCHETT, LP
M&A Training Programs
PRITCHETT has trained more people in M&A than anyone else. Our training programs have set the standard for excellence in M&A training for the past four decades.
Our trainers have been around the block, in fact, many blocks in virtually all industries working on M&A. They have seen it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly ... and the scary ugly. They teach merging organizations the right moves to make and the frightening ones to avoid.
FOR ACQUIRERS
Merger Integration Certification Workshop
The methodology taught in PRITCHETT’s Merger Integration Certification Workshop has survived trial by fire. Our approach has been developed in the trenches from over three decades of consulting on integrations. Countless acquirers have used our integration process to successfully mobilize their teams across functions, locations, and cultures.
Our training has no mushy theory. No timewasting trivia. No touchy-feely stuff. We teach participants each step of the integration, how to create the deliverables for each step, who should create them, and when. And we include useful tools and down-to-earth, real-life examples. And we give attendees access to all the playbooks, tool, presentations from over 100 integrations on MergerIntegration.com. Nobody offers anything remotely comparable.
FOR ACQUIRERS
Executive Team Briefing on M&A Integration
This intensive 4-hour session provides a crash course for the top leaders in an acquirer on the ground rules for a successful integration. We distill PRITCHETT’s 40+ years of M&A experience into a data-rich, actionable orientation that prepares senior management for the unique challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Our briefing provides critical insights, creates executive alignment on new priorities, and positions your decision makers to follow the same integration game plan. We also cover the most damaging mistakes to avoid so executives can reduce distractions, remain focused on what is most important, and more fully realize the benefits from their deals.
FOR SOON-TO-BE ACQUIRED COMPANIES
Managing Uncertainty Between Announcement and Close
A merger can be a high-stress event on par with other life-changing experiences such as a physical illness or divorce. People in the acquired company worry and fret, even obsess about how the deal might adversely affect them. Because of their preoccupation with the acquisition and their concerns about the future, they sometimes inadvertently sabotage their own chances for success.
If unaddressed, employee anxiety can damage productivity, quality, customer service, talent retention, and, ultimately, profitability. Sometimes it even dooms the chances for a successful deal. The Managing Uncertainty training program helps protect the performance of acquired companies during the vulnerable "hang time" between announcement and close.
