Integration Post Merger
A smooth, reliable integration process is crucial for realizing the full value of an acquisition or merger. This requires having the right strategy, project management, people, and objectives in place. We help companies assemble pragmatic and effective approaches with a focus on value creation and business continuity, leveraging the talent within your team.
Our Approach
Acquisitions and mergers come with high financial and operational expectations but are very complex to execute. Success requires a broad range of experience and expertise.
As your day-to-day partner, our team will work with you to develop an ambitious yet realistic acquisition integration strategy, both pre- and post-closing.
We will construct a tailored integration approach aligned with the deal rationale: one that identifies value creation opportunities while outlining associated challenges and risks. Through clear roadmaps for change and integration, we help find the quickest, risk-free way to achieve a successful transition. A transition that allows you and your employees to advance your long-term business goals.
From due diligence to post-closing execution, our team emphasizes collaboration to help you:
- Develop a strong business case for the acquisition
- Design and run a reliable project management office to foster decision-making, manage all interdependencies, and mobilize resources
- Define and track synergies and initiatives to fulfill the business case
- Design an operating model for the combined entities
- Create a change management plan that fosters successful integration
- Address individual functional challenges across sales and marketing, operations, finance, HR, and IT
As a truly integrated firm, we will also quickly deploy specialist teams to support you with the implementation of critical specialist issues, such as post-deal tax strategy, legal compliance, and IT integration.
