In this episode of Dealmaking with Laura DiFrancesco, I tackle one of the most critical aspects of any acquisition—post-closing integration. Successfully merging two companies is more than just signing the dotted line; it's about seamlessly integrating operations, aligning cultures, and setting the stage for long-term success. I’ll walk you through the strategies and practices for effective integration, from detailed planning and team coordination to managing cultural differences and monitoring performance post-acquisition.
