18. September 2024 – PMIspective – PMI Playbook: Anleitung für die Übergangszeit – PMI-Expertentalk

September 18th, 2024 – PMIspective – PMI Playbook: A Guide for the Transition Period - PMI Expert Talk

When the winds of change suddenly blow through a company, one needs to bundle up. Some choose an off-the-rack strategy, while others design a tailored PMI Playbook to navigate the company safely through stormy acquisition processes. But what do you do when employees cling too tightly to the playbook to avoid being swept away by the changes? What happens if the playbook flies away? And how do you avoid slipping on its pages and falling flat on your face?

We'll discuss these high-pressure zones in our next PMIspective on September 18th.

August 21st, 2024 – PMIspective – Low hanging fruits: sowing and harvesting synergies – PMI expert talk

Those with a green thumb for PMI processes can pluck sweet synergy fruits by the bucketful. But beware: Not every tempting fruit is ripe for the picking. So how do you plan a bumper crop of synergy effects? How do you prepare the soil before the takeover, which seeds will sprout, and how do you spot the ripe fruits? And what if your arms just aren't long enough to reach?

Let‘s cultivate these juicy questions in our next PMIspective on August 21st.

24. Juli 2024 – PMIspective – Availability: Stell dir vor, es ist Closing und keiner geht hin – PMI-Expertentalk

July 24th, 2024 – PMIspective - Availability: Imagine there’s a closing and nobody shows up – PMI expert talk

However well you’ve planned your closing – the final say is down to the public authorities. And if the closing date happens to be during the school holidays to top things off, closing might become a rather lonely matter. So how can you avoid this pitfall? By postponing day-1? Impose a vacation freeze for just-in-case? Or carry on anyway hoping it’s going to work out somehow?

Let’s discuss these scenarios in our next PMIspective on July 24th!

June 19th, 2024 – PMIspective - Employee transition: How to make sure everyone stays on board – PMI expert talk

The sails are set, onboarding has started. What if, of all things, the most valuable employees quit? Even though the purchase price will go down, this won’t make up for the damage caused. So how does successful employee retention work in acquisition processes? What are the watchouts?

This is what we’re going to discuss in our next PMIspective on June 19th.

22. Mai 2024 – PMIspective – Merger Branding: Wenn die Integration ein komplettes Umflaggen erfordert

May 22nd, 2024 – PMIspective - Merger branding: When integration requires a complete reflagging

"Welcome to the XY-family!" This or something similar is the way acquisition announcements start. You can’t choose your family. But is this the same for brand-families?

In which case is complete reflagging necessary in course of a merger, if there will be only on brand after the merger. What does reflagging involve? How complex and extensive is it? Do situations exist in which you can do without it?

We will explore these questions in our next PMIspective on May 22.

April 24th, 2024 – PMIspective "Post Merger Integration - A closed 🔒 book 📖?!"

Post Merger Integration – A closed 🔒 book 📖.

⚠ We don't need any (cost) synergies from this acquisition. Everything is running smoothly at Target. We don't want to cause any disturbance. We are not in a hurry. The next owner can take care of it. We don't want to break anything.

When we ask about the reasons for the post merger integration not being carried out, these are the usual answers we get. 😎

❓ Are these the "real" reasons? What is behind it?

🔍 We will address this topic in our next #PMIspective.

We are looking forward to our 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ discussion on April 24.
