Strategic Framework for Post-Merger Cost Savings PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 131-slide Post-merger Integration Training PowerPoint presentation, titled "Capturing Synergies - I. Drive Savings" outlines a strategic framework for identifying and realizing cost savings in a post-merger context. It emphasizes the collaborative roles of Finance and the Project Management Office (PMO) in this process, highlighting that while they do not directly manage cost reductions, their involvement is crucial in pinpointing potential savings opportunities.

The slide is structured into several key components. At the top, "Shared Support Functions" indicates a focus on reducing functional headcount through organizational simplification. This suggests a need to streamline operations across various business functions, including Strategy, Marketing, Management, Finance, and Risk.

Beneath this, the "Business Processes" section, valued at $1 billion, lists 4 processes that likely represent significant areas for cost reduction. The slide implies that these processes should be evaluated for efficiency improvements.

The "Spend Reduction" and "Infrastructure Rationalization" sections further detail specific strategies for achieving savings. Spend reduction focuses on managing demand and sourcing effectively, while infrastructure rationalization aims to cut costs by optimizing projects, platforms, and support structures.

Key considerations are presented, stressing that anticipated synergies may not solely arise from initially identified sources. Additional opportunities must be uncovered to meet or exceed the publicly stated $200 million target. The slide also notes that stakeholders, particularly Wall Street, expect more than what is publicly communicated regarding synergies. Lastly, it underscores the importance of maintaining revenues and customer service during the pursuit of cost savings. This comprehensive approach provides a clear roadmap for executives looking to maximize value in a merger scenario.
