"Ensure that you think of divestitures as a value creating opportunity. Don't just think of it as a "do the deal, get rid of the asset," type approach or as an afterthought. So, think about it as a deliberate value-creating opportunity and put the appropriate governance around it. Get the team involved, get them interested, get them excited, get them part of the journey to say, here's a new future for you, for the people who are part of their business, let's be part of this. Help us make this business as attractive as possible." - Toby Tester

In this episode, Kison and Toby discuss the way that divestitures are currently viewed by the M&A industry. This podcast also covers Toby’s article, The New Divestiture Playbook, in which he discusses the trend of how divestitures are strategically becoming more attractive, if not necessary.
