Mastering "Survival Integration"

The complete report covers over 200 enterprise processes within eight functional classifications, this detailed sector report provides the framework for sustainable operational improvements that must be made by organizations seeking answers, while incorporating downstream financial implications.

The U.S. financial industry is ripe for takeovers and bankruptcies. Fueled by historical risks, recessionary markets, and vanishing customers, the operating climate for 2008 and beyond, points to permanent financial and process modifications.

Organizations are ill-prepared for the consequences of the new markets including foreign investments, illiquid assets, and demand for rapid transformations. With banking loan losses the highest in over 20 years, survival integrations or M&A’s will accelerate forcing established players into difficult terms and conditions, while allowing nimble well capitalized organizations with experienced management teams to alter the competitive landscape.

Additionally, with funding sources severely reduced, the ability to singularly finance organizational profitability cannot be achieved using the operating models of the past. Arcane processes and fixed cost over-capacity will accelerate the drain on resources hastening operational losses and forcing integration / M&A events which can only be addressed with process transformations and collaborative global sourcing.

Listen to two key answers about the report and industry directions as asked by a journalist to Mark P. Dangelo in early 2008.

(NOTE: this will launch a new window to play the MP3 files):

1) Mark, in your upcoming report, you state that integration and rightsizing will become a more important survival strategy for financial services companies in the days ahead. Why do you believe that?

2) What are some of the challenges companies face during periods of industry consolidation, integration, and resizing?

What C-Level's Have Had to Say About this Report...

"The comprehensive survival guide analysis in this report is a 'must have' for everyone in the Mortgage Industry. With the US economy in the throes of a recession and the mortgage industry on the brink of collapse, the thought leadership provided by Mark Dangelo and Rick Grant is unmatched.

The Mortgage industry has been abruptly thrown into change and the daily news is full of casualties. This report not only provides an in-depth view on how to survive, but most importantly, enables one to be a change agent rather than road kill on the Mortgage Highway." -- Cary Burch, Chairman and CEO of LSSI
