Merger integration

Integration planning that keeps both organisations running on day one while systems, teams and processes come together.

We plan and run integration from signing to the end state: day-one readiness, an interim operating model, choices on systems and data, and synergy tracking. Each workstream has an owner, a dependency map and a plan for the people affected.

In the UAE and Saudi Arabia, integration plans also need time for competition and sector regulator approvals, licence transfers and, for listed companies, disclosure obligations, so we build those steps into the plan with your legal team.

What the engagement covers

  • Day-one readiness

    The checklist of what must work on the first day: payroll, access, customer contact, finance and legal obligations.

  • Integration roadmap

    Decisions on which systems, processes and teams combine, run side by side or retire, in a sequence the business can absorb.

  • Synergy tracking

    Each expected saving or revenue gain has an owner, a baseline and a reporting line to the integration board.

  • Steering and decisions

    A steering rhythm, a decision log and a risk register your leadership keeps using after we leave.

  • Change and adoption

    Communication and support for the people affected, planned with HR and line managers.

When integration needs its own team

A dedicated integration team pays off once the deal is signed and the first-day obligations are no longer theoretical.

  • Signing is done and day one has a date.
  • Two finance, HR or IT estates must run side by side for a period.
  • Synergy targets were announced and need owners.
