M&A Integration: Bridging the Gap Between Paper and Reality

Most mergers and acquisitions fail to deliver the return on investment promised in the due diligence white paper. Why? Because those papers are often built on a fictional world, one where synergies are instant, systems align effortlessly, and performance improves overnight.

Because transformation doesn’t happen in theory, it happens in the flow of real business, where people, processes, and systems collide.
