Solving your biggest M&A Challenges at a fraction of the cost
Increase Your Chances of Success
Strategy is everything in M&A
Mergers and Acquisitions are full of risks that can undermine intended benefits and value creation.
Strategy and governance are vital to your success. However, it is uncommon for businesses to have the necessary skills and experience in-house.
Our expertise will guide you through the process and help to mitigate those risks, creating
a much higher probability of success.

Divestitures
We specialise in divestitures and can help with all aspects of the lifecycle: planning and strategy, due diligence, drafting a TSA, legal support, HR migration, governance, and project management.
M&A Strategy
Our Project and Programme Managers have years of experience and use an iterative, waterfall methodology to significantly improve migration success rates.
Due Diligence
Due diligence must be tightly controlled to capture an M&A opportunity. It is imperative to find the right target/bidder that will realise the necessary value to compensate for cost and risk.
Transition Service Agreement Support
For divestitures where services will be shared during a transition period, we highly recommend a TSA. If this document is well-drafted it will increase the likelihood of a smooth transition and exit.
Post-Merger Integration
Transferring staff, retaining talent, and HR integration are complex processes with many hidden costs. We can help with all the intricacies of human capital management (HCM) and post-merger integration.

Case Study
Delivering a TSA programme for a $216m divestment 6 months early & under budget
The goal of the programme was the transition of two financial derivatives trading platform businesses. The client approached Cambridge Management Consulting to advise them on the optimal way to deliver a business-critical transition and TSA.
The initial engagement was to review and implement a TSA programme and support the client with consulting services to deliver an optimised TSA. We quickly became a trusted partner, and our engagement was extended to leading the delivery of the transition programme.
Our experience in managing and delivering successful TSA transitions resulted in our TSA Manager, Program Manager, Project Managers, Solution Architects, and PMO remaining on the TSA from start to finish, ensuring consistency and continuity.
The outcome was a highly successful transition which satisfied both parties. Significantly, an 18-month transition process was delivered in under 12 months and under budget with all contractual obligations being met.
