Identifying Key Risks in Post-Merger Integration PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 157-slide Post Merger Integration (PMI) Handbook PowerPoint presentation, outlines various typical risks associated with post-merger integration, categorized by reference number, risk description, potential impact, and likelihood.

The first risk, "Work Council constraints," highlights challenges with unions not accepting new terms and conditions, particularly regarding redundancy packages. This could lead to strikes, damaging revenues and customer confidence, and ultimately hinder the realization of merger synergies.

Next, "Financial risks" are noted, emphasizing the reduced focus on risk monitoring during transition phases. Operational risks can arise from migrating processes and client accounts, where errors could significantly damage credibility with large customers. The impact of these financial risks is hard to predict, but could result in substantial losses if not managed effectively.

The slide also addresses "Technology costs and platform stability." Poor assessment of implementation costs and inadequate decision-making regarding platform architecture can lead to spiraling tech costs. If the chosen platform fails to support business needs or is delayed, customers may seek alternative providers.

"Public Perception" is another critical risk. An unfavorable public image, exacerbated by inaccurate press coverage, can lead to customer attrition as businesses may distance themselves from perceived internal conflicts.

Finally, "Loss of growth momentum" is discussed, where differing views on growth opportunities can create confusion about the merger's rationale. This can disrupt performance and hinder the ability to meet business targets.

Overall, the slide serves as a cautionary overview for executives to consider the multifaceted risks that can arise during post-merger integration, emphasizing the need for careful planning and management.

This slide is part of the Post Merger Integration (PMI) Handbook PowerPoint presentation.
