We are excited to announce the release of our latest report, "Charting New Horizons: M&A and the Path to Thrive". This report, I co-authored along with esteemed colleague Sriram Prakash based on updated data from 2023, offers invaluable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of mergers and acquisitions. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/g93zyPf8 In 2023, the global M&A markets faced challenges with total deal value falling below $3 trillion for the first time in a decade. Despite this, there were significant positives to note: - Deal volumes remained above the decade average, demonstrating resilience despite a 3% decrease. - Mega deals (over $10 billion) sustained momentum, signaling a return in corporate confidence. - The year closed with nearly $750 billion worth of deals announced in the last three months, setting a promising stage for 2024. Explore the report to uncover top offensive and defensive M&A strategies, and a framework to evaluate new inorganic options tailored to your strategic needs. These strategies aim to bolster gains, drive business model transformation, and make horizon investments for long-term market leadership. As I approach retirement in mid-September, it has been an honor collaborating with Sriram Prakash for over 4 years on the Charting New Horizons program. I have full confidence in his stewardship moving forward. #deloitte #mergersandacquisitions

Summer is around the corner and internships will kick off soon for many students. We recently held a panel session with former Alvarez & Marsal CPI and Public Sector interns to help welcome our new crew. Here is some of the advice they shared as well as other tips gleaned from experience: ·        Be present. Every interaction is an opportunity to make an impression. How you show up each moment with your attire, attitude, and work quality matters. ·        Be curious. Say yes to assignments and be open to opportunities that present themselves. ·        Be prepared. Do your research on the company before you start. Arrive with SMART goals in mind. ·        Be intentional with your outreach. Before meeting with colleagues prepare in advance with bio reviews and tailored questions. Spend time and be supportive of your fellow interns. Meet as many people as possible. ·        Be reflective. After seeking feedback in a thoughtful way that is mindful of colleagues’ time and roles, create an action plan to address opportunities and further develop strengths. Think critically about your compatibility with the company’s culture, the nature of the work and your anticipated responsibilities of a full-time role. ·        Make an impact by not only doing the job that is asked of you but by going above and beyond to add value to the organization. To achieve impact, listen, clarify, identify opportunities, and provide actionable solutions. ·        Have fun! #lovewhatyoudo
