Merger Integration Conference

M&A deals are a great method to grow your business but they also come with their own set of challenges. Speakers will share the best strategies and methods to overcome the most common hurdles that arise when attempting M&A integration.

The speakers will share their experiences as well as the experiences of other serial acquirers on how to ensure that the transition after closing goes seamless and that it meets the expectations of shareholders. The speakers will cover a wide range of subjects such as how to set the right priorities, manage resistance to change and how secure document storage solutions to identify and make use of acquired talent.

A important aspect to achieving success is to establish the principles and vision for the new company. It is also crucial to identify and communicate value drivers that will help to support the guiding principles and guide the integration strategy. A clear understanding of executive leadership’s priorities from the outset promotes program alignment throughout the process of integration.

Effective M&A integrations require an in-depth understanding of the impact of culture on business and the ability to build an integrated workforce that leverages the strengths and capabilities of each organization. A comprehensive integration plan should be created, and continuously updated, to address any issues, starting from the day of readiness to closing synergies.

It is crucial to maintain momentum during the integration process. The slowing down of the process can decrease the value of the transaction and employees that are already in a state of high anxiety may interpret holdups as an indication of instability. To counter this, it is essential to have a robust IMO who consistently coordinates workstreams and drives forward progress.
