followed by mapping of opportunities, evaluating key success factors, designing strategy and approach
to expansion and a recommended plan.

A typical process would entail identifying a long list of potential target partners with their key strengths and benefits, creating a shortlist in discussions with the customer, and initiate discussions with short
listed target companies at senior-most levels to gauge interest. Following that, we would start serious engagement/discussion with a target based on feedback and the preference of the customer in terms of strategic fit, culture, shared objectives etc.
