What We Do
As M&A experts, we know there is nothing more important than realizing perceived deal value. We tackle the complexities of M&A, from strategy, analysis, and planning through integration and optimization. We bring a unique set of capabilities to every deal: strong leadership, broad experience, and deep industry knowledge. We are committed to closing deals, strengthening companies, and succeeding together.
Based on our experience assisting an average of 300 transactions annually, we understand that the key to success in a highly competitive deal market is being both a strategic partner and tactical implementer. We build strategies and playbooks for transactions and conduct deep diligence into the operational, technological, and functional dynamics of your deal. Then we turn assumptions into realities through planning, integration, and change management across human resources, finance, and sales.
The question isn’t whether to do deals but how to do them so that they create sustainable value. Our answer: Use M&A as an integral part of your global growth strategy, plan for opportunities long before they arise, and build a repeatable acquisition model honed through frequent, continuous deal making. We can help you every step of the way to:
- Improve your odds of success by honing your M&A strategy and objectives, developing your M&A team and capability, and building a repeatable process.
- Take due diligence to the next level with a fact-based, rigorously quantified assessment that helps you ward off deal fever, spot synergies the market didn’t see and prepare for integration long before the deal is inked.
- Capture maximum value from the deal with a battle-tested approach to integration that mitigates the many risks that can undercut a deal’s anticipated synergies. Companies that turn to DeCalle Group for integration support realize 18% more value, on average, than those that don’t.
- Attain the highest possible return from divestitures by preparing the asset for sale, running a low-risk carve-out program and shaping the remaining business to thrive post-transaction. If you are considering a spin-off we can help you develop the thesis, ensure robust spin-off and transaction planning, and set up both companies for success. DeCalle Group can also help you build the internal capabilities you need to maximize the value of joint ventures and alliances.

Joint Ventures & Alliances
As companies consider inorganic growth to complement their organic growth, many are turning to joint ventures and alliances. DeCalle Group Joint Ventures and Alliances helps you maximize the value of your joint ventures and alliances and build the internal capabilities you need to support them.
M&A and divestitures are increasingly critical to business success. Why? Growth drives value creation, and acquisitions offer a way to grow when organic growth is limited. Actively pruning the business portfolio over time also helps a company sustain its capacity to deliver value. It’s not easy—most M&As actually destroy value. The key is to manage corporate transactions as an industrial process, not an occasional activity.
