Many mergers fail as a result of inability to act during the integration phase and plan within due diligence. A successful integration depends on a clear vision, leadership and commitment to a continuous communication feedback loop. Strategic and operational due diligence is necessary where you can review key variables, metrics and qualitative factors such as corporate culture. Companies must balance the need for functioning, and harmonised processes against the need for winning the hearts and minds of the new organisation’s workforce, in particular for emerging markets. Team building and the proper use of the post-merger integration function is critical. Working with dedicated integration personnel with solid integration experience, liaising between senior management and project managers and ensuring a cross-functional team are notable challenges – as is involving the integration team during the latter part of the due diligence process. Mastering the human impact through interpersonal and internal communication often succeeds in finding the problems early and ensuring a joined corporate culture. One of the key areas of savings is IT Integration: a strong & efficient IT integration plan must be formulated.
Attend this 3rd edition to benchmark how other merger teams are implementing integration strategies; hear their perspectives - both success stories and lessons learned. Utilise this event to learn from their experiences, compare solutions and take away concrete strategies that you can use to drive strategic transformation in your enterprise
