Overview
Unlock the real driver of M&A success: post-merger integration that actually delivers value
In Post-Merger Integration: Building the Mindset, Skills, and Discipline Needed for Deal Success, David Fubini – a Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School and former Senior Partner at McKinsey & Company – draws on four decades of experience leading dozens of the world's largest transactions to reveal why integration, not the deal itself, determines whether mergers create or destroy value. While hundreds of billions in anticipated synergies are lost annually to poor integration, Fubini shows leaders how to develop an Integration Mindset that will enable you to navigate the complex, nuanced reality of bringing two organizations together successfully.
This book skips the rigid playbooks and generic frameworks, choosing instead to serve as your trusted advisor. The author guides you through the critical considerations and generative questions that lead to tailored solutions for your deal. Through real-world case studies spanning staggering successes to disappointing failures, Fubini exposes the common traps that derail integrations and illuminates the foundational truths that define today's M&A champions:
- Why copy-paste integration approaches inevitably fail and how to create bespoke strategies that account for every deal's unique nuances
- How to maintain laser focus on your deal rationale throughout the integration process, avoiding the trap of competing priorities
- Practical frameworks for developing decisive leadership at every level of your merging organization
- Proven methods to identify and overcome the endemic traps that cause even experienced leaders to stumble
- Strategic approaches to bridge the knowing-doing gap and turn integration plans into realized value
Whether you're a C-suite executive planning your next acquisition, a VP or director tasked with integration leadership, or a consultant supporting M&A efforts, Post-Merger Integration equips you with the mindset and skills to transform paper value into actual results. Stop leaving billions on the table and learn how success isn't bought, it's built.
