Industry consolidation is an inevitable consequence of ‘Choice’ as commercial pressure puts fees in the spotlight and forces the need to achieve economies through scale. Finding the right suitors may be the easy part, convincing multiple stakeholders of the value in change much harder. This is where our extensive experience and unique tools (such as the Deloitte Superannuation Model that considers how economic and demographic changes will shape the market) are vital in creating a strategic agenda and overcoming barriers to change.

Effective post merger integration is critical to secure commitment. Bringing together people, systems and processes is just the start whilst communicating effectively with members and other stakeholders is perhaps even more important. Our experience in the super industry and more widely in corporate transactions and strategic consulting enables us to bring an integrated solution that will help to deliver even greater value for members.
