Strategic Transformation Through Acquisition

For corporate acquisition teams, InnoVacient's acclaimed Align-to-Acquisition methodology delivers increased value and higher returns by helping clients define and execute acquisition strategies within the larger framework of a strategic corporate transformation. The Align-to-Acquisition methodology was developed and refined within some of Silicon Valley's most progressive corporations in the pursuit of redefining portfolio strategies and retooling human capital assets for competitive and sustainable innovation advantage. 

​In this exclusive model, InnoVacient collaborates with clients to identify needs based on a comprehensive market and transformation strategy and helps to identify potential acquisition targets that will align with, and advance, that strategy. Once potential assets are identified, InnoVacient works with the client to vet each opportunity against "build or partner" alternatives. When an acquisition target is selected, InnoVacient can also works with the target(s) to help align strategies, objectives, expectations and even culture. Additional program highlights include:

• Strategy Design – Collaborating with clients to understand portfolio objectives, create investment strategies and establish baselines for valuing and grading acquisition candidates both pre-acquisition and post-acquisition. InnoVacient also helps create the acquisition methodology, define the market landscape and develop the engagement framework. 

 

• Search and Identify – InnoVacient has unique access to thousands of new startups and can help clients identify and properly value target companies that fit the value/risk profiles consistent with the client’s defined acquisition strategy. Often this work is based on evaluating a target company’s operational proof points in order to ensure the end-result is a fully integrated asset with a significantly reduced risk profile.

​

• Pre-Acquisition Alignment – InnoVacient works with the target company to help align development or product initiatives with the strategies and operational objectives of the client to ensure the start-up team is fully integrated with the strategy, teams and culture of the corporate partner. Through numerous client engagement we have found that it is best to do this alignment work pre-acquisition before the full weight of corporate process is placed on the target company.

​

• Acquisition Accelerator  – The Align-to-Acquisition methodology can also be combined with InnoVacient's Excellence Center model to create a specialized Accelerator for the rapid transformation of any organization through a structured and repeatable series of acquisitions or incubation/acceleration needs. In some instances, the entire acquisition process through integration is formalized into an Excellence Center model that can be continually refined and optimized.
