5 Key Questions to Ask Before Divestment

1. Rather than getting rid of an entire business unit, can you disassemble its operations and outsource the costly or cumbersome functions?
2. Have we pushed technology as far as we can, or are there still new ways it can cut costs, increase productivity and improve operations?
3. Do you have all the candidates for disposal on the table, not just the ‘dogs’?
4. Is it possible that the business you thought of as core is actually your least important one?
5. If you do decide to get out of a business, what’s the best way to exit?
