Project Management in PMI & Carve-out

Active project management is the key to success in M&A

Operative PMI Management

I create value for my clients by preventing delays in integration and synergies delivery.

I support Management in choosing the right integration subjects, in defining the traget operating model, perform a fit/gap analysis and identify appropriate measures. I organize and lead the PMO, gather the right people in workstreams, agree milestones and action plans, manage the project, implement initiatives and check results together with the team and report progress, successes and risks to Senior Management.

I safeguard Day 1-operations in the NewCo: Employee structure, systems, processes from Finance to Supply Chain, legal topics (e.g. technology, intellectual property, environmental legacy, litigation).

Implementation Track Record

My experience from various (international) PMI and Carve-out-projects ensures the right level of process safety in your process.

I have pulled together and published some insights from my project experience, together with some literature input, in a small booklet: „Inside Post-merger Integration – A Practitioner’s Guide to a Successful PMI Project“. It is available as a free download.

Goal achievement post acquisition is no easy sledding

PMI Management Increases ROI

Structured PMI (post-merger integration) management increases the probability of attaining any acquisition goals considerably – in particular if the acquisition objectives have been determined during the due diligence phase already (a fact proven in the same KPMG study.) An continuous process from due diligence to integration will increase the success rate further. Once the M&A consultant has off-boarded, the real work commences: „Post-deal“ is more than financing, GAAP conversion and PPA; effective integration requires stringent management and stakeholder involvement. In fact, KPMG found that companies mainly focusing on legal and financing matters were 15% less likely to have a successful deal.
