About Us

---

 ​Dettica provides high performance M&A integration, divestiture and carve-out separation services globally. These services are positioned across business and technology and combine functional expertise with first class governance and business change management capabilities.

​​Our clients include leading global public companies that have subsequently demonstrated sustained, above-average shareholder value creation from M&A.

​That is 'the top 6% of global public companies, as recently and independently assessed by the Cass Business School (20-year study, with a total sample 25,000 global public firms & 265,000 deals).'

Our passion is to enable many more companies to achieve this same level of success. Which means we are fully committed to playing our part in creating the leading companies of tomorrow, in addition to supporting those we all know today. 

​These top performers also have:

• Higher levels of confidence in synergy value targets, costs and timescales;

• Lower transaction consumption of business bandwidth;

• Faster and smoother transitions;

• Greater transparency of transaction performance;
• Increased visibility and better coordination of transactions relative to corporate strategy;

• M&A capabilities are a real source of competitive advantage;

• Ability to achieve significantly more with less;
• Increased ability to preserve and create value. ​

​We have provided leadership and governance services for many complex, global transactions, with typical transaction values ranging between $700 million to $3 billion US. All our consultants are vastly experienced in M&A and are able to leverage extensive top-tier technology skills.

We recognise the high variability in client transaction maturity and that this often requires a level of business mentoring and support, that other consulting partners do not provide. We also fully understand, that our clients have varying appetites for the level of integration discipline, formality, budget and timescales. There is also a large variation in available business capacity and capabilities to support the integration, bust also clear constraints concerning engagement of sizeable teams from large consulting organisations.​
​

With a vast exposure to different business sectors and organisations, from small to very large, entrepreneurial to highly structured and procedural, we know what works and what doesn't. The key is selecting the right balance of speed, agility, value creation and simplicity, whilst not losing control, overshooting on costs or putting the business at risk. With decades of experience successfully delivering our clients major transactions and transformations, we know how challenging this balance is to achieve and thats why we have tuned our services to get this right.

By engaging us, we will help you join the small percentage of companies globally, that have the capability to routinely execute high performance M&A integrations and divestiture separations. In the meantime, here's a breakdown of the most significant risks affecting M&A integration performance. 

AT A GLANCE

---

Credentials >

Our consultants have been engaged to shape, lead and provide governance for many complex global acquisition integrations and divestiture / carve-out separations. Transactions values have typically been in the range $0.7-3 billion US and with an operational impact involving up to ninety two countries. Our clients have subsequently been independently assessed as belonging to the top 6% of global public M&A performers.

Capability >

We can deploy a single expert or rapidly mobilise a small team that will address specific transaction capability gaps. We can leverage extensive technology, business change and governance expertise, alongside decades of M&A. Our lean and hands-on approach is fully supported by our consultants ability to 'wear many hats', 'get in the boat and row' and land with a 'strike-force mentality'. This, combined with our high performance work ethic, innovative approach and essential business mentoring, enables us to achieve benchmark levels of 'more with less'.

Services >

Our services have been designed to augment in-house teams and to work with existing capabilities, including those provisioned by incumbent partners, vendors and suppliers. Our engagement model is also highly flexible and can be tailored according to specific needs, including risk/reward and fixed price. All our services are focused on velocity, with lean principles embedded throughout and fine tuning to yield maximum impact:

• Due-diligence support;

• Integration/carve-out strategy;

• Value identification and synergy tracking;

• Integration/separation blueprinting and delivery planning for Day 1 & Day 2;

• Identifying and mitigating dis-synergies and value destruction;

• Advising on existing methods and capabilities, including supporting improvement initiatives;

• Implementation of a holistic integration or separation framework;

• Implementation of a robust governance structure and related processes;

• Setting up and running an integration/separation governance office;

• Managing the legal, compliance and commercial integration impacts;

• Management of multiple outsourced partners and vendors, including the critical deployment of a unified end-to-end delivery approach;

• Identifying, planning and support execution for culture alignment and performance improvement interventions;

• Planning, shaping and managing enterprise wide change, restructuring and transformation;

• Aligning cross-functional people, technology and process change;

• Supporting stakeholder management and communications planning.

Positioning >

We have uniquely positioned ourselves by focusing our approach around our client’s needs. This means we will not:

• Manoeuvre to deploy as much resource as possible. In fact, we do the opposite;

• Unload the bench, deploy junior resource or non-M&A specialists;

• Avoid sharing your transaction risk. We are confident enough to put more than our 'skin in the game';

• Exercise an 'us and them' mentality;

• Implement an inflexible approach constrained by delivery partner inertia and padded with 'nice to haves'. Our approach always puts you at the centre.

We will:

• Embed high performance M&A integration and divestiture separation capabilities;

• Achieve significantly more with less;

• Maximise M&A performance;
