Post Merger Integration & Carve-out

We can realign your business models.

Post Merger Integration & Carve-out

In a dynamic market environment, companies need to be adapting their strategies and realigning their business models – and doing so continuously and systematically. That often means mergers, acquisitions, and divestment from areas which are no longer strategically relevant. In our day-to-day consulting we have become very familiar with the major organizational and structural challenges involved in these types of changes. Post-merger integration (PMI) and carve-out: Let's get to work on your competitiveness together.

Solution approach

Our solution approach

Practical approach

We set up effective processes for you

From strategic planning to successful implementation: Through the entire post-merger or carve-out process we will be at your side, along with all our expertise.

Realizing synergies: Our PMI approach focuses on achieving efficient and effective integration processes by combining PMI best practices with practice-oriented methodologies. And of course we also put the benefit of our extensive expertise into improving your operational procedures. Our objective is that the post-merger integration is stabilized within the first 100 days. That is how to ensure quick results and simultaneously lay meaningful foundations for sustainable transformation and value-added.

Separate structures with care: How you go about planning and executing a carve-out is decisive to its success. Precision is key. We consider the shared structures and processes in use, identifying them and then systematically separating them. In doing so we focus on the continued integrity and functionality of the resulting business models. We help you develop new business models and organizational models. But we also make it a priority to start working on potential synergies and cost savings, as well as a stringent approach model.
