This Post-Merger Integration Playbook will help your Integration Management Office, Human Resources, Information Technology, Finance, Communications, Sales, and Legal teams finish the majority of their integration work by Day 100.
The first 100 days matter the most
Follow a fast path to integration success.
Acquirers can execute quickly and with confidence with our 100-day playbook. It has been developed from over one hundred acquisitions and with the mindset that most integration tasks can be completed in the first 100 days with proper planning.
A 100-day goal for "integration complete" creates an urgency that exponentially increases the chances for success and forces teams to prioritize value drivers. An accelerated approach simply works better ... and easier. The first three months post-close are when acquired organizations are the most energized, most curious, and most willing to embrace change.
