Mergers:

Due to inadequate pre-merger planning, mergers and acquisitions rarely live up to their CEO's expectations; our process can change all that. While the greatest chance of merger success lies in pre-merger feasibility and due diligence assessments, once the merger has been completed we can also help you maintain focus in the following merger imperatives:

• determining and communicating a crystal-clear strategy and direction for the company;
• coordinating and managing the transitional process in a rapid manner;
• communicating and leveraging the new cultural standards and realities;
• designing the way work will get done in the new, combined business;
• how to quickly gain control over the new merged entities;
• repelling the attacks from the vultures feeding on your vulnerable customers and employees.

Our integration methodology involves a careful assessment of the cultural issues and how to get people on board with the program. Our integration process explicitly focuses on capturing the projected merger benefits (people, assets, cost-efficiencies, revenue and cost synergies). We plan for rapid integration, stabilization, short-term wins and buy-in from customers and employees. We demand quick integration and believe that a drawn-out process is the least effective and most dangerous.
