Separation Anxiety: The Board's Role in Getting Divestitures Right
Archive
About The Event
Whether structured as a strategic sale, private equity carve-out, spin-off, or joint venture contribution, divestitures are among the most operationally demanding transactions a company can undertake.
For boards, they raise a distinct set of oversight questions: Is the strategic rationale sound and the timing right? Has management realistically scoped the transaction perimeter, entanglements, and stranded costs? Is the organization prepared to execute without losing momentum in the retained businesses? Missteps in planning and execution can delay closing, inflate costs, and erode value the separation was meant to unlock — and directors are increasingly expected to see those risks coming.
