FUNCTIONAL EXPERTISE: INTEGRATIONS

Supporting organizations with best practices for integrations and change management exercises

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

Integration Management

While M&A tends to get many mentions and generates excitement across organizations, integration management often gets overlooked in the run-up to deal close. However, Integration Management is critical to achieving deal model synergies.

It requires a knowledge of common pitfalls, opportunities for early wins and most importantly an understanding of the emotional toll that change plays on employees across both organizations.

Integrations have a powerful impact on employees, processes, customers, teams and organizational structures. We help businesses manage through the chaos to arrive at a new normal.

Change Management

While managing tactical plans to integrate teams, processes, technology and customers is critical to the integration process, change management is the process of managing the change in a way that minimizes employee impact. In so doing, leaders need to apply lessons learned from experience in integrations to overcome potential hurdles and continue towards a new normal.

A few of the many lessons learned from our experiences is that smaller isn’t always easier, brand is not just an intangible for the business – it is the business and its people and most importantly transparency from the start is the key to any successful integration.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Every organization’s STRAP should contain some percentage of inorganic growth attributable to mergers & acquisitions (M&A).

Because of the complexity and confidential nature of M&A, many organizations benefit from using a firm that can do the following:
  • Identify business areas that could benefit from M&A
  • Define acquisition targets & initiate a screening process
  • Conduct due diligence on targets
  • Build valuations & financial models
  • Manage the transaction
