Post-Merger Integration (PMI)
Comprehensive integration planning and execution to realize deal value and achieve synergies.
Plan IntegrationWhy Post-Merger Integration Matters
Most M&A value creation happens—or fails—during integration. Without structured planning, disciplined execution, and focused synergy realization, even well-conceived transactions can destroy value. Integration challenges range from culture clashes to systems incompatibility, requiring both strategic oversight and operational detail management.
Our PMI practice provides comprehensive support from pre-signing integration planning through post-close execution, ensuring your transaction delivers promised synergies and strategic objectives through disciplined, phased integration management.
