Talk to our Team

The task of successfully integrating two distinct companies is a challenging one. You’re facing complex problems in areas like:

Circle orange X

Lack of unified plan

Both companies are coming into this merger with a strategic plan. Sometimes those plans are in competition with one another, sometimes they complement each other. But they’re always different.
Circle orange X

Lack of one source of truth in data and technology

The technology used in each of these companies often needs integrated, but determining the best way to execute that integration efficiently requires significant planning and technical sophistication.

Differing Cultures

The “way we do things” goes well beyond the step-by-step processes. How each organization has been led, what their teams are accustomed to, and what they expect is distinct – and that is an integration in and of itself.

Confusion on what's next

The deal has been executed and the dust has settled, but now the hard work begins. Building the plan is the easier part, now it is time to operationalize to achieve the desired goals of the deal.

Non-standard processes leading to unexpected results

Each organization has a “way they do things.” Navigating the good and the bad that comes with these processes and aligning the organization to the “new way” is a challenge.

Unproductive energy causing activity not progress

The Executive team has agreed and communicated the new strategic initiatives, but why is everyone so confused....and busy with the wrong things? Vision is cast from Executives but change becomes sticky in middle management. How to begin that change effort takes time and intentionality.
