Buyer-Led M&A™ Masterclass: 5 Steps to Take Your Dealmaking From Complex to Simple with Buyer-Led M&A™

M&A does not fail because teams lack intelligence or effort. 

It fails when complexity creeps in, clarity disappears, and execution slows at the moments that matter most.

Join Jim Buckley, veteran integration leader with decades of deal experience, alongside Kison Patel, Founder & Executive Chairman of DealRoom, for a Buyer-Led M&A™ Masterclass focused on one deceptively hard discipline: simplicity. This session breaks down how leading acquirers intentionally simplify deals to move faster, stay aligned, and protect value from thesis through integration.

What you will learn in this masterclass

• How to simplify your deal thesis using the 5x5x5 framework so everyone understands what matters and why
• How to reduce friction with sellers, executives, and integration teams without sacrificing rigor
• How to replace rigid playbooks with judgment driven execution anchored to value drivers

This masterclass will give you practical frameworks you can apply immediately to bring structure, repeatability, and clarity to every deal, no matter the size or complexity.
