Case Study: Strategic Planning for M&A

A pre-IPO fabless semiconductor company wanted to rapidly grow their business by moving into an adjacent market, which they did by acquiring a spin-off from a Fortune 500 corporation. 

As a growth company with a frenzied pace of operations, they didn’t have dedicated corporate development staff to execute the merger. At the same time, it wasn’t economical for them to bring in a full team of consultants to run the integration process.

We used our flexible model to support merger management, while ensuring solutions were collaborative and cost-effective:

	Leveraged our in-depth knowledge of semiconductor to help capture the synergies and avoid pitfalls, focusing on product strategy and HR integration.
	Developed a technology integration strategy with a process roadmap that enabled executives to take the reins and execute in a timely manner.
	Used our HR know-how to address a key to successful semiconductor acquisitions – retaining the engineering talent that developed the product.
	Helped identify the target’s key talent and integrate them through customized employee engagement initiatives.
