The finance integration section outlines value at different stages of the M&A lifecycle, competitive landscape, and the practitioner's base strength, ensuring your finance team is well-positioned to support the integration process.

The supply chain integration portion provides a high-level workflow, data collection and validation steps, and clean team prioritization and recommendation steps. Detailed templates for data collection, spend analysis, and opportunity identification are included to streamline the integration process. The document also covers final deliverables, such as spend profiles and aggregated level 1 opportunities, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain landscape post-merger.

HR integration is thoroughly addressed, focusing on merger integration objectives, critical success factors, and challenges of human capital integration. The document outlines key priorities for selection and retention, leadership, culture, and communications, and provides a transition playbook for people management. This ensures that the workforce is aligned, engaged, and effectively managed throughout the integration process.
