Beyondge (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Takanori Nogami) has implemented a new "M&A Playbook Creation Service" as part of its DealFlow BPaaS, a platform supporting M&A buyers.
This service does more than just systemize the entire M&A process into a custom "playbook." It provides a cycle where these playbooks are managed and operated on DealFlow, with insights gained from actual deals fed back to continuously refine them.
By combining the practical "in the trenches" feel of M&A execution, which management consultancies often lack, with the strategic perspective that pure brokerage services lack, Beyondge provides truly actionable playbooks.
## Background: Record M&A Volume, Yet Few Companies Have Reproducible Systems
As M&A involving Japanese companies continues to increase, it is becoming a core pillar of corporate strategy. However, many companies face common hurdles:
- Reliance on individuals: Knowledge is siloed with specific personnel and lost due to turnover.
- Lack of reproducibility: Lessons from past deals are not systemized, leading to "zero-based" considerations every time.
- Absence of decision criteria: No unified internal standards for Go/No-Go decisions or valuation assessments.
- Slow execution: A lack of standard processes causes delays in internal approvals and consensus building, often leading to missed opportunities.
To solve these issues and evolve M&A from isolated "point" activities into a continuous "line" of strategic management, companies need a system to develop and maintain an operational playbook. DealFlow provides this system in a one-stop solution.
## What is DealFlow?
DealFlow is a BPaaS for M&A buyers. It integrates a Notion-based management tool, BPO services from experts, and an AI support tool for decision-making. It aims to eliminate inefficiencies, silos, and information dispersion, allowing teams to focus on strategy and decision-making.
## New Service Overview
An M&A playbook is a company-specific execution manual summarizing strategic goals, decision-making criteria, execution processes, roles, and templates. The service divides the M&A process into three phases—Sourcing, Execution, and PMI—to create an actionable manual:
- Sourcing (Push): Systematizes proactive approach processes.
- Sourcing (Pull): Systematizes strategic evaluation of deals from intermediaries.
- Execution: Standardizes processes for due diligence, valuation, and negotiations.
- PMI: Designs integration and monitoring processes aligned with the acquisition purpose.
## The 'Create, Use, Refine' Cycle on DealFlow
1. Create: Experts systemize the entire process for the client.
2. Use: Implement the playbook within DealFlow, linked with AI and case management.
3. Refine: Feedback results from actual deals to keep the playbook updated and relevant.
