The Post-merger Integration (PMI) is a highly complex process. It requires swift action as well as running the core business activities simultaneously. There is no one-size fits all approach to a successful PMI Process. However, careful planning focusing on the strategic objectives of the deal and the identification and capturing of synergies will help maximize deal value.

It is inevitable that some element of information will be withheld from a Buyer pre-deal. Further, not all the synergy benefits originally identified in the deal will prove to be achievable. The foremost challenge for management at the onset of the PMI Process is to identify how value can be captured from the newly combined organization via synergies and cost savings.

Closing and Day One of change may be the most critical in the Post-merger Integration Process. It is the initial starting point towards the change of ownership. It is the starting point of bringing 2 organizations together to experience major change, while simultaneously ensuring that business continues as usual.

This presentation will focus on Closing and Day One; the essential factors organizations must take note of when starting off with the PMI Process. During the Closing or Day One, the organization must focus on 3 core areas:

1. Corporate Communications
2. Operating Structure
3. Systems & Controls

Understanding the key elements essential in Closing and Day One prepares the joint organization in what could be a complex process.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
