How to stick the landing when closing your M&A integration
M&A is not a box-ticking exercise.
Merely “completing” the tasks in your integration is not the same as closing your integration.
And if you don’t close your integration 100%?
The feelings of dread, anxiety, and eternal despair never leave. Your half-complete integration will always be there, just lingering in the background. Nobody wants to talk about it, but everybody is fed up with it.
Morale is destroyed. Employees are sick of dealing with multiple CRM’s and processes. And there’s no feeling of, “we did it. It’s over.”
But there’s a solution to this problem.
In today’s episode, I reveal a five point checklist to know exactly when to close your integration. By doing this, you can get a clean feeling of relief, knowing your integration is done and dusted.
Listen now!
