Post-merger integration

Before closing

Before Day 1, I offer to build your integration concept to answer the following questions: what drives value? What activities are thus necessary and how can their success be measured? Who will be responsible for each, in which budget and timeline? In my experience, the best PMI concepts are simple and measurable.

Implementation speed is crucial during integrations: Start it in the first three months, or don't do it at all. For me as your PM, this means every meeting gets a meeting prep, notes and action item list. Financial targets are tracked at least monthly and need to reconcile against group financials. The timeline is broken down into weekly targets per work stream, each delay triggering a catch-up plan.
