Post Acquisition Review

Post Acquisition Review

Post-acquisition review is the process of evaluating the success of an acquisition or merger after it has been completed. The goal of a post-acquisition review is to assess whether the acquisition achieved its intended goals, identify any areas for improvement, and determine lessons learned for future acquisitions. Here are some key points to keep in mind when conducting a post-acquisition review:

1. Define objectives: Before conducting a post-acquisition review, it’s important to define the objectives of the acquisition. This will help you evaluate the success of the acquisition and identify any areas for improvement.
2. Gather data: Collect data on the performance of the acquired company before and after the acquisition. This data may include financial data, operational data, and customer feedback.
3. Evaluate performance: Use the data collected to evaluate the performance of the acquired company after the acquisition. Compare the performance to the objectives defined before the acquisition.
4. Identify areas for improvement: Identify any areas where the acquisition fell short of its objectives. This may include issues with integration, cultural differences, or unexpected challenges.
5. Determine lessons learned: Use the post-acquisition review to determine lessons learned for future acquisitions. Identify best practices and areas for improvement that can be applied to future acquisitions.
6. Communicate findings: Share the findings of the post-acquisition review with key stakeholders, including senior management, the PMI team, and other employees involved in the acquisition. Use the findings to develop recommendations for future acquisitions.
