Post-M&A Simplicity: Keeping IT Integration Fast, Flexible and Focussed
For over half a century, computing power has been an integral part of business models. Whether simply managing back-office functions or actually central to the company’s business, business needs ‘IT.’For the same half century the prevailing icon of the IT-business partnership has been a cartoon-like conflict between the two – ‘pocket-protector geeks versus polyester-suited charlatans.’ During post-merger integration (PMI) this conflict is only heightened as IT has become a critical enabler of post-deal value creation.Some firms build positive partnerships by the thoughtful integration of the two. In this podcast, Jakub Kuleczko of E.ON, David Wr...

Back to Basics 9: Treating Culture Seriously, Pragmatically, and without Fear
Culture culture blah blah. Yes, we all know it’s important for integration success, we all know it’s hard…but what impact does it really have on the ground? And more to the point, is there anything realistically that can be done about it, or is it an inevitable but passing friction that just needs to be endured?

Back to Basics 8: Resourcing Integration from within your own Business
Having discussed what and when, an equally critical consideration is who. Some organisations will try to conduct M&A and integration entirely in-house, believing they can do it all themselves. Others will outsource most if not all of the exercise to professional service groups, hoping the entire exercise can be done by someone else on their behalf. Both extremes typically fail when tried; the best outcomes are found somewhere in the middle…but where exactly?

Just as with leaving the new acquisition alone post-close, integrating fully into your own business is also a common approach. Doing so is often seen as the easiest, best and possibly only way to achieve your acquisition goals: full integration equals full benefits, correct? If only it were that simple; in fact, in many cases a full integration is the best way to destroy value, especially in small acquisitions where as the saying goes, ‘the gorilla smothers the kitten’.
