The exploration and execution of new growth initiatives through avenues outside of the normal course of business, including:

• Mergers & Acquisitions
• Joint ventures and strategic partnerships
• Establishment of long term supply agreements with customers
• Structuring of licensing and intellectual property royalty streams
• Commercialization of products and services

Often these types of initiatives require financing, but regardless, they should always be consistent with the business plan.

Executing on Strategic Initiatives which can Revolutionize a Business

By their very nature Corporate Development initiatives are strategic and can significantly alter the course of a business. Properly vetted and executed, Corporate Development initiatives can in fact revolutionize a business. Consequently, this is an area that needs to be worked at the most senior levels of a business.

Complexity and Risk of Corporate Development Initiatives

Corporate Development initiatives tend to be complex for several reasons; for example, a company will often be:

•  Entering a new line of business, or a new geo-political or cultural environment
•  Developing a new and innovative structure for a business arrangement or transaction

As a result, these initiatives tend to include a web of financial, legal, tax and accounting professionals, and often also specialists in insurance, human resources, among others. Of course, as geographic lines are crossed, duplicate the above list and multiply the complexity and business risk.

Mitigating the Risks of Corporate Development Initiatives?

The rewards of success in Corporate Development clearly justify the risks, especially considering that much of the risk can be mitigated by properly vetting opportunities and not underestimating the execution and post-execution phases. These types of initiatives should never be done “on the cheap”. Short cuts can result in huge value destruction, or at the very least failure to capture the full potential up-side.
