20. November 2024 – PMIspective – Deferred Integration: Alles zu seiner Zeit – aber wann genau? – PMI-Expertentalk

November 20th, 2024 - PMIspective - Everything in its own time – but when exactly? PMI Expert Talk

Timing is everything, they say. But when exactly is the perfect time to start your post-merger integration?

Right after closing? Sure, you can do that.

Or maybe you wait a little. That can be smart too, as long as you don't let the integration fall off the radar entirely. After all, you'll probably have a clearer head and a better overview at a later point. And better late than never, right?

But too late isn't exactly a winning strategy either. So, what’s the sweet spot?

In our next PMIspective on November 20th, we’ll dive deep into the topic of timing. Our expert panel will take a closer look at real cases where waiting paid off – and where it didn’t. And yes, the "started too early and crashed it hard" stories will also make an appearance.

Because one thing’s for sure: a successful integration doesn’t happen by chance. It all comes down to good timing.

Dear PMI professionals, secure your free place👉 here - the sooner the better!

We look forward to an engaging fun discussion!

Akquisitionen zum Erfolg führen: Einblicke in Post-Merger Integrationen mit Dr. Carsten Friedrichs (The Hardt Group)

In dieser Folge begrüßen unsere Gründungspartner RA Thorsten Rohde und RA Dr. Johannes Baier mit Dr. Carsten Friedrichs den Geschäftsführer der The Hardt Group GmbH.

Seine Begeisterung für Transformationsprojekte und Post Merger Integration hat Carsten schon früh in seiner Laufbahn bei der Boston Consulting Group entdeckt. Sein erstes Projekt führt ihn in eine internationale Post Merger Integration: ein Lateinamerikanisches Unternehmen hat einen der Top-3 Player in Europa gekauft.

Auf seiner Reise folgten mehreren Stationen in Portfolio Unternehmen von Private Equity Fonds, bei denen er die Organisationen durch anspruchsvolle Transformationen geführt hat. Bei The Hardt Group – einer Unternehmensberatung für Transformationsprozesse – begleitet er heute mittelständische Unternehmen bei der erfolgreichen Transformation.

23. Oktober 2024 – PMIspective – Carve-out: Die gruseligsten Fehler beim Firmensplitting – PMI-Expertentalk

October 23rd, 2024 – PMIspective – Carve-out: The most bone-chilling blunders in corporate splitting – PMI expert talk

Welcome to the Chamber of Carve-out Catastrophes! This is where vital parts of a company are cut out without a ghostly goal in sight. Responsibilities are a mystery, so everyone points their bony fingers at each other as the project stumbles around aimlessly like a zombie. Under the full moon, seemingly independent systems transform into an impenetrable thicket of bizarre entanglements. The mystery of the vanished synergies and the phantom of the lost licenses will send chills down your spine. Crucial customer data disappears faster than in a haunted house or ends up in the digital graveyard. Cold shivers run down your back when carve-outs reveal themselves to be complexity monsters, suddenly opening the gates to a financial hell painted in blood-red numbers.

So beware, dear PMI experts: In our next PMIspective on October 23rd, we will embark on a joint horror trip into the shady realms of failed carve-outs. Click 👉 hereto sign your soul away.

We’re dying to have a spine-tingling exchange with you and other survivors of past PMI disasters!

What a fright!

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.

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

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!
