Major Transaction Benefits Delivery

Your anxiety

You have just completed on a major strategic transaction. Despite the deal cycle being intense and exhausting you now know it is imperative that your organisation delivers on the ‘promise’ of the deal. You also know that countless studies repeatedly point to transacting parties failing to deliver on a deal’s expected value often because organisations lose focus and ownership upon completion. Your challenge is to keep the pre-deal momentum going into a well structured and focused programme which is designed to deliver the transaction’s expected value.

How we can help you

We understand that focus and effort should not dip once the deal is done and that post deal activity is critical to delivering value.

Our Major Transaction Benefits Delivery proposition is built to ensure excellent programme design & delivery as the primary means of realising transaction value; ensuring a best practice programme approach supported by a project portfolio to address the deal’s value drivers. The core components are:

• Business Case Review; a clear and agreed understanding of how the respective parties seek to acquire value from the transaction, thus informing the ‘future state’ design.

• Organisation As-Is Analysis; a detailed review of existing governance and operations – particularly in the areas directly impacted by the transaction.

• ‘To-be’ Definition (Future Blueprint); designing the ‘to-be’ organisation to sustainably deliver the transaction’s proposed value.

• Programme Design & Initiation; agreeing the programme structure, governance and accountability and setting up the project portfolio.

• Implementation; initiating the PMO and the activities required to achieve the future state.

• Communications & Change Management; design & execution of consistent and timely communications to key stakeholders.

• Benefits Profiling & Realisation; the analysis and quantification of transaction benefits – mapped to the delivery projects.

How we would work with you

For the business case analysis and blueprint design we would advise our clients to establish a joint project team of a small number of consultants working in close collaboration with staff members.

Given our firmly held belief that the transaction benefits must be owned by the business, in moving into programme delivery, we would expect to see the client take on key governance roles such as the Senior Responsible Owner & Change Manager. Moorhouse Consulting would typically support programme delivery through lead PMO and Programme roles and through ensuring tight controls and the effective use of programme tools.

Tools and training we can provide

To support our proposition we provide examples of specific deal-based value drivers, benefits realisation schedules and blueprint designs. Also, and as would be expected, we provide an array of best practice PPM tools, product templates and reference documents embedded in our internally developed PPM framework known as “mapp” – used by ourselves to manage our own client projects and all of which is MSP and PRINCE2 compliant.

How this could deliver value for you

Moorhouse Consulting support organisations to retain momentum and the right delivery focus after the trials and successes of completing on a major transaction. Our aim is to ensure our clients are not just another ‘falling short’ statistic in realising the benefits of a deal and we do this by ensuring best-practice programme set up and delivery.
