Transactions - About the Corporate Development Function - Ernst & Young - France

Supporting corporate development

It is hard to imagine a more challenging environment for corporate development.

The turbulence in the financial markets has made access to capital extremely difficult. This volatility of financial markets makes it all but impossible to make sensible forecasts and many companies are focusing on survival rather than growth.  However, there are still market growth opportunities for those prepared to seize the moment; any company with access to capital will be in a strong position to make value-enhancing acquisitions.

In this rapidly changing market, the corporate development functions and corporate development officers (CDOs) are more crucial than ever.  CDOs are becoming effective strategic advisors to their boards, actively managing portfolios, divesting non-core assets on accelerated timelines and pursuing acquisitions to transform their market share.  CDOs will need to adapt their current practices and develop new ones.

We are committed to building and supporting the global transaction community and supporting corporate development officers and other leading executives in navigating through transaction strategy and execution. Our priority is to provide you with the insight, experience and knowledge you need in these challenging times to help you balance your short term needs with your long term aspirations.
