Post-Merger Integration

Signing on the dotted line is not a completion of the transaction for Acquirers, it is just the beginning of the most important, complex and intricate process of value realisation known as integration.

In any M&A Integration, it is hard to achieve strategic, operational and financial success. That is why businesses look for a strategic M&A Integration advisor to help achieve the desired outcome. Acquirers often overlook integration in the early stages of M&A and early planning is pertinent for the deal to generate value. Traditional 100-day planning is no longer enough; a business needs to be ready with a comprehensive value creation plan 30 days prior to the deal signing.

Comprising M&A specialists and functional and industry experts, we partner with businesses through the integration journey right from planning to stakeholder management at the ground level.
