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.
