Many deals still fall short of meeting established success criteria, in spite of frequent acquirers improving how they go about it. Debate continues about the right things to measure, and over what time period, to determine whether or not a deal is successful. Putting these debates aside, the typical things that go wrong in unsuccessful deals can be traced back to human factors.

Acquirers continue to underestimate the time, complexity, and cost of getting human beings to do what needs to be done, and generally leave it too late to address these issues effectively. Failure to articulate and effectively communicate deal rationale/strategy and what this means for the future, along with underinvestment in leadership capability and culture management, impact heavily on M&A execution.
