Post-Merger Integration

Extracting the Most Value from a Deal

Post-merger integration (PMI) is critical to realizing the value of a deal. It’s also highly complex, taking place under severe time pressure and in parallel to running the core business—making it one of the most challenging initiatives a senior executive will ever undertake.
