Have you acquired another company or have you just been acquired by another company? Now it’s a matter of jointly creating added value, leveraging synergies and sharing market access? And for the employees, “nothing changes for now” or “everything changes at once”?
Post-Merger Integration
Complexity is underestimated
Many managers underestimate the complexity of the integration process after a company acquisition. Especially on a cultural level, the differences are often greater than expected. And it creates a lot of uncertainty among employees and managers. Am I still needed? What will change? Will I lose freedoms and privileges?
Is this what you’re experiencing right now, or what you think is about to happen? We are happy to support you in navigating this unfamiliar terrain.
Post-Merger Integration
A merger or post-merger integration (PMI) is often the biggest change a company, its founders, executives and employees go through. It feels like everything is being turned upside down. Goals, systems, processes, organizational structure, self-image and much more have to be found anew in a short time.
As experts on the topic of post-merger integration, we know all the stumbling blocks and can coordinate an individualized roadmap with you that will make your integration successful.
PMI roadmap and target picture
The first step is to develop a clear target picture and a roadmap to this target picture.
We then set up a PMI team with you to further detail the roadmap and manage its subsequent implementation.
The most important thing in the integration process is clear, timely and appropriate communication. We help you to set up and use the various communication channels. Townhall meetings, executive jour fixe and integration workshops are to be prepared. We are happy to help you.
