Integration Management should begin immediately when the deal is announced. Otherwise, you’re going to be running behind, and the bulk of your time will be spent trying to fix problems rather than prevent them. You’ll get caught in a crossfire — on one hand needing to develop your integration strategy, and on the other hand having to deal with problems that have a headstart on you.
A wait-and-see attitude puts you and the organization at a severe disadvantage. You’ll end up being reactive, instead of proactive. Rather than being effectively positioned to shape circumstances, you’ll be a victim of them. For more information, visit http://www.mergerintegration.com/merger-acquisition-integration-con...
