The Most Successful Post-Merger Integration Training Program in the World (Over 30,000 Attendees)
Mergers and acquisitions typically involve restructuring. . . a culture clash ... heavy-duty management changes ... downsizing of some sort ... major reworking of systems ... and more. A post-merger integration is a very complex undertaking. Just winging any phase of the process is reckless. Organizations invite chaos if they attempt to merge without a field-tested, well-defined methodology.
In our online (via Zoom) post-merger integration training workshop, participants learn PRITCHETT’s proven step-by-step approach for planning and running fast, effective integrations. Our methodology is neither too simple nor too complex. It is precisely what acquirers need to minimize risks and optimize results.
