The best organizations of all sizes have their eyes on potential acquisitions, even when an acquisition seems unlikely or unfamiliar, given the enterprise’s history.
This perspective flips the acquisition narrative from being solely about expansion to serving as a strategic lens for self-assessment—a refreshing take. It’s a powerful exercise in uncovering organizational gaps while sparking intentional growth conversations. How have you seen companies best balance the tension between pursuing acquisitions for immediate gain versus long-term strategic alignment?
I’ve never thought about acquisitions this way before. It’s not just about growth or adding to the company—it’s a way to understand what you truly need for your company/yourself. Whether it’s talent, market share, or technology, asking these questions forces you to be honest about where you’re falling short. This mindset could help smaller organizations punch WELL above their weight. Definitely a strategy worth exploring. Thanks!
