SUMMARY:After the close: Managing the hidden risks in divestitures
DESCRIPTION:Key takeaways \n\n\n\nDivestitures often prioritize speed to close\, but that urgency has a cost. Deloitte’s 2026 Global Divestiture Survey shows that many sellers experience margin erosion after close\, driven by stranded costs\, prolonged TSAs\, interim operating models\, and unresolved tax and legal entity complexity. Once a transaction closes\, management focus often shifts\, making it harder to unwind complexity and stabilize the remaining organization. Join our session to explore how post-close value erosion takes hold and what leading sellers do differently. We’ll discuss: \n\n\n\nHow sellers design post-close outcomes before signing \n\n\n\nThe trade-offs between closing quickly and separating cleanly
