A Mergers & Acquisition (M&A) deal can fail without a well-planned post-merger integration phase and addressing post-acquisition challenges. This is critical given that up to 70%-90% of deals fail, often due to issues like relationships, employee morale, cost overruns, delays, and lost potential.
Change is hard for everyone involved in the deal. Team members often feel a threat to their most basic sense of security. At the same time, this is an exciting new chapter for you and your company. It is filled with great potential and many new possibilities for the future.
