Acquisition Integration Setup
Turning the strategy into a plan of action
What’s involved in an acquisition integration set up?
Preparation is the Key to Success
Imagine every department in your business be re-organized – all at the same time. This is what happens when you integrate an acquired and acquiring business.
Merging two businesses is a collection of numerous separate projects, many of which are inter-dependent, for example:
- What are the workstreams and who should lead them?
- What are the priorities?
- How should we sequence the work?
- How do we track and report?
Ensuring that the plan you have is realistic and achievable
If you are new to acquiring, or it has been a while since your last acquisition, we can set up your custom integration program, leaving you more prepared to efficiently merge your businesses
Cross-Functional Dependencies
Bringing together two businesses is a collection of numerous separate projects, many of which are dependent upon others.
Each team or department has a list of action items with varying priorities, and many have cross functional dependencies. It can get complex, quickly
Creating the Plan
We develop the high level plan from your strategy, working with the managers who will carry out the tasks that bring the systems, processes, people and cultures of the businesses together. The end product is a custom program of projects to be executed
