GACC Midwest invites you to an expert workshop from our “Success in the US" series:
"Success in the US: M&A in the US Market – Transactions and Integration as the Foundation for Sustainable Growth"
Acquisitions are a key strategic tool for many companies seeking to grow in the US market, gain market share, or expand existing operations. However, the success of an M&A transaction goes far beyond deal structuring and closing. Long-term success depends on how well strategic objectives, execution, and post-merger integration are aligned within the US context.
This expert workshop takes a comprehensive look at M&A activities in the US market - from strategic positioning and transaction preparation to key execution topics and successful post-merger integration and further development of US operations. The focus is on identifying the factors throughout the entire M&A process that determine sustainable success or failure.
The workshop also highlights how organizations, leadership structures, and role profiles evolve in the course of an acquisition and why workforce and leadership considerations should be addressed early in the process. In this context, recruiting is not viewed as a standalone HR topic, but as a strategic lever to support integration, stabilization, and continued growth.
In addition, the workshop addresses US-specific characteristics of M&A transactions and explains why established European approaches cannot always be directly transferred to the US market.
This workshop is designed for companies that are considering, planning, or have already completed acquisitions in the United States and want to gain a deeper understanding of the interaction between M&A strategy, integration, and organizational development.
The webinar will be held in German. Participation is free of charge.
Key Takeaways:
- Successful M&A in the US depends on alignment between strategy, transaction execution, and post-merger integration.
- Post-merger integration and organizational development are critical drivers of long-term value creation.
- Leadership structures, roles, and workforce requirements evolve significantly during and after an acquisition and must be addressed early.
- Recruiting and talent strategy act as strategic levers to stabilize operations and enable sustainable growth.
- US-specific M&A dynamics require adapted approaches that differ from established European practices.
