Strategic and institutional diagnostic
Relians, ensuring the predictability of the operation
Understanding the strategic nature of an asset, technology, or company is a crucial step for anyone who wants to gauge the attention that public authorities will place on the proposed operation.
Strategic diagnosis, a key tool for your operations
The strategic diagnosis is an essential decision-making tool for operations in sensitive sectors. It provides an in-depth analysis that helps assess the feasibility and strategic impact of a transaction or project from the perspective of public authorities.
Sectoral analysis
Beyond the regulatory and financial aspects of an operation, the strategic diagnosis primarily relies on sectoral analysis, which integrates the technological, institutional, and market dimensions of the operation.
This diagnosis is based on a detailed study of the information and data provided by stakeholders, considering the economic, regulatory, geopolitical, and market dimensions.
Added value: securing the transaction
ts added value lies in approaching the operation from the perspective of public authorities, whether administrative bodies or political decision-making bodies. This allows for assessing the strategic nature of the asset, technology, or target company.
This analysis thus becomes a valuable tool for securing and enhancing the transaction, optimizing its acceptability by public authorities.
A key component of Due Diligence
The strategic diagnosis is essential during the due diligence phase. It helps anticipate the sensitivity of public authorities regarding the industry sector.
A privatized analysis
The goal of the strategic diagnosis is to simulate, from a private perspective, the analyses that public authorities would conduct when reviewing the operation.
By “privatizing” this analysis, the stakeholders involved in the operation gain a clear insight into institutional sensitivities and potential objections or concerns that public authorities might raise.
A tool for structuring the transaction
By anticipating the reaction of public authorities, the strategic diagnosis enables companies to effectively structure their operations to align with the requirements of public authorities. It thus becomes an essential tool for securing the success of operations, while also avoiding a rejection or any issues that could lower the asset’s valuation.
This aspect is even more relevant when it comes to foreign investment control.
Mastering institutional uncertainty, the key challenge of the strategic diagnosis
Understanding the position of public authorities is essential in operations where the State is involved or could potentially intervene.
Sensitivity of public authorities
The institutional diagnosis allows for assessing the sensitivity of public authorities to the proposed operation and measuring its feasibility from the perspective of all administrations, government authorities, as well as parliamentary assemblies and foreign institutions.
Informational advantage
The institutional diagnosis provides the parties involved in the operation with key information for structuring their operation, as well as for their lobbying and conduct of institutional dialogue.
Especially in the foreign investment control process, the institutional diagnosis helps assess the offers from foreign investors that public authorities are likely to accept or reject within the framework of prior authorization.
