Integration & Carve-outs

Mergers lose value in the first 90 days, when two organisations try to move together without a shared plan. We build that plan before Day 1 and run it after, and we do the same in reverse for carve-outs.

What it is

Integration That Keeps the Deal Value In

Most integration plans focus on cost synergies and legal close. They underinvest in the question customers actually ask: "Who do I call now?" We build the Day-1 operating model so the combined business moves as one from the first day, and track synergy capture weekly so you know if the deal is delivering, not six months later.

On carve-outs we run the same discipline in reverse: separation cost, TSA scope and a clean exit date.

What you get
  • A clear picture of how the combined business runs from Day 1
  • A prioritised integration backlog with owners and timelines
  • Weekly synergy tracking against the deal model
  • Carve-outs: TSA scope, separation cost and the exit plan
  • A handover to your leadership team when integration is stable
