Integration Value Framework

The methodology behind our M&A Integration practice, as a standalone diagram.

Overview

This is the diagram version of the methodology our M&A Integration practice uses on every engagement — naming specific decision owners for specific decision categories from the first 100 days, rather than treating integration as a systems exercise.

This is also the working methodology behind our M&A Integration practice →

Diligence

Assess decision-rights compatibility between the two organisations, not just financials.

Design

Build an integration plan naming specific decision owners for specific decision categories.

Day One

Ensure operational continuity and clarity on authority from the first day of combination.

Integration

Sequence systems, teams, and culture together, rather than technology first.

Value Capture

Measure realised value against the original business case, not a revised one.
