The human capital sector continues to follow a global trend of increased competition and M&A within specialist areas, which is in different stages of maturity and consolidation in different markets.
M&A strategies of buyers can usually be plotted on a 'three dimensional matrix' of 1) business models, 2) functional specialisms and 3) geographical markets; resulting in a unique '3D strategic footprint' for every acquirer.
Our focus on human capital and our understanding of these 'strategic footprints' allow us to add value to clients by matching the needs of buyers and sellers more precisely to deliver deeper synergy and strategic fit and therefore better transaction economics for our client.
