M&A Integration Advisory

You closed the deal.
Now comes the part that determines if it was worth it.

83% of failed mergers point to integration as the primary cause. The first 100 days define everything — and most buyers face them without a real plan, a clear owner, or any operating system to keep things on track.

The Problem

Are these questions keeping you up at night?

If you just closed an acquisition — or you're about to — these are the questions that need answers before Day 1.

  • Who actually owns each integration decision?
  • How do we keep key employees from walking out?
  • Will we actually capture the synergies we modeled?
  • How do we merge two very different cultures?
  • How do we know if integration is on track?
  • What needs to happen on Day 1 — and who's doing it?
Concerned business executive thinking through integration challenges
⚡

No clarity on who decides what

Decision rights are blurred. Cross-functional accountability disappears. Everything escalates, nothing gets resolved, and integration stalls in the first month.

📉

Assumed synergies stay assumptions

Revenue expansion and cost reductions were modeled in the deal. Nobody owns making them real. Months pass. The numbers don't move.

🔥

Key talent starts looking elsewhere

Uncertainty is the enemy of retention. Your most valuable people — the ones you bought the business for — start quietly testing the market.

🌀

No execution cadence

Integration runs as a reaction, not a program. Momentum collapses within weeks. Value leaks quietly while everyone stays busy but nothing integrates.

AgIMO™  ·  Agile Integration Management Office
The Promise

A smarter operating system for your acquisition.

AgIMO™ is our proprietary framework — the Agile Integration Management Office. It's not a theory. It's a working operating system that installs structured execution into the most critical, volatile window of your deal.

🔄

Flexible

Adapts to your deal's unique complexity — industry, size, geography, and culture. No one-size-fits-all templates.

🎯

Adaptive

Every sprint reviews what's working and adjusts. Integration evolves as realities emerge — not as the plan assumed.

🤝

Inclusive

Brings both sides of the deal into a shared cadence. No us vs. them. One team, one roadmap, one set of outcomes.

📊

Result-Oriented

Every sprint has a measurable output. Every synergy has an owner. Every milestone is tracked and visible to the executive team.

The Program

Two components. One outcome: an acquisition that delivers.

Every engagement includes both components below. The Foundation comes first — because you can't run great sprints without a great plan.

01

Deep Analysis & Plan

Your integration blueprint — four deliverables that give you complete clarity before execution begins.

  • Integration Intent & Foundation Brief Clear objectives, value thesis, cultural baseline, and risk flags — the strategic north star for the entire program.
  • Integration Risk Heatmap Every risk categorized, impact-assessed, and sequenced for mitigation. You know exactly where value could leak — before it does.
  • Governance Gap Map Full RACI model, workstream structure, escalation pathways, and IMO design. Ambiguity replaced with accountability.
  • 100-Day Integration Roadmap Sprint boards, Day 1 readiness checklist, milestone timeline, and resource alignment — your execution playbook.
02

Running the Integration

Eight 2-week sprints of hands-on execution — we run alongside your team the entire way.

  • 8 × 2-Week AgIMO™ Sprints Structured cycles that keep execution moving, issues visible, and momentum alive across all workstreams.
  • Weekly Executive Sprint Sessions 90–120 minute working sessions: risk review, synergy delta, decision escalation, and next sprint planning.
  • Synergy Operating Dashboard Revenue, cost, and cash flow targets tracked weekly — every synergy has a named owner and a live status.
  • Monthly Buyer Briefing Call Executive-level summary for acquisition sponsors and investors. Complete visibility without noise.
  • Sprint Retrospectives Iterative improvements built into every cycle. The program adapts as integration realities evolve.

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know before you decide.

What exactly is the Agile Integration Management Office (AgIMO™)?
AgIMO™ is our proprietary operating system for post-merger integration. It's a structured, sprint-based framework that installs governance, execution cadence, synergy tracking, and accountability into your integration — adapted from Agile methodology and built specifically for M&A. It's not a report. It's a running system.
We just closed. How quickly can you start?
We can begin within 1–2 weeks of your first strategy call. The Foundation Sprint — which delivers your four core planning documents — is typically complete within 2–3 weeks of engagement. The faster you start, the more Day 1 risk you mitigate.
Do I need technical knowledge to work with you?
Absolutely not. While Bob has deep technical and IT integration experience, the program is designed for business buyers and executives. We translate complexity into clear decisions, visible dashboards, and plain-language briefings — no jargon required.
What's the difference between Component 1 and Component 2?
Component 1 (Deep Analysis & Plan) is your integration blueprint — four strategic documents that define what you're integrating, what could go wrong, who owns what, and how execution will run. Component 2 (Sprint Execution) is us actually running the integration alongside your team through 8 structured 2-week sprints. Both come with every engagement.
How long does M&A integration typically take?
The structured 100-day program covers the most critical integration window. Full synergy realization can take 12–36 months depending on complexity, but the first 100 days set the trajectory for everything that follows. Getting this window right determines the outcome of the entire deal.
What does the free strategy call involve?
It's a 45-minute conversation with Bob. We'll assess your deal, identify where integration risk is highest, and outline exactly how the program would be structured for your acquisition. There's no pitch and no obligation — it's designed to give you value regardless of whether we work together.
