In the immortal words of Ferris Bueller: Life moves pretty fast. So, too, does the Merger and Acquisition process - especially once it’s publicly announced. That’s when everyone is watching your every move, waiting to see how it will pan out before they make investment decisions. Before they decide to work with you, or buy from you. Yes, M&A may be essential for your growth, but it’s even more essential to make sure everything happens as smoothly as possible, as quickly as possible, with no mistakes. It’s the same little things that can trip you up in this process:
• getting the scope of services and pricing mechanisms right in a Transition Services Agreement (TSA)
• plans for major service continuity issues
• making sure your team has on-site, local expertise for entity structuring, statutory accounting and filings, and a locally compliant payroll and HR servicing model.

Agenda topics for the call:

• Discuss 2018 M&A drivers
• Understand M&A at a deeper level
• How does Procurement add value downstream

Discussion items:
• 2018 M&A Landscape
• Important M&A Concepts
• Global Implications
• Procurement: Ready or not
