What happens to integration when the PMI budget falls victim to leverage pressure? It happens anyway. Just uncontrolled, unplanned, and in the end more expensive than any PMI investment would have been.
In this PMIspective, we look behind the budget decisions of debt-financed M&A processes and put forward a proposition: integration on a low flame is not half an integration. It’s a smart one.
Our panel of experts will discuss:
What needs to be thought through from the outset, even under budget pressure?
What can wait and how do you make sure it really does just wait?
And why is "low flame" a strategy and not a declaration of bankruptcy?
With insights from M&A practice, plain speaking rather than whitewashing and examples of integrations that worked despite tight budgets. And some where the final bill was twice what it needed to be.
