Fewer than half of all acquisitions achieve their goals, a figure largely unchanged in over 30 years despite decades of best practice. Many businesses accept these odds, and the consequent loss of value. At BTD we don't. We know it can be better, but only if it's different.We believe that 90% of acquisitions should bring value to the business within 12.
