Merger and Acquisition Roadmap
Merger and Acquisition Roadmap
During a
merger or acquisition, there are 4 key steps that must happen to ensure a
smooth transition internally, in the media and in the boardrooms of
your customers.
STEP 1:
PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT
Develop key messages to be used internally and externally in branding, communications, PR, advertising and social media.
STEP 2:
DAY-1 TACTICAL EXECUTION PLAN
Announce the transaction and be prepared with collateral to address the media, clients, customers and employees.
STEP 3:
THE FIRST 100 DAYS
Open
communication to customers and employees is critical. Step 1 is
critical in preparing both companies to operate smoothly during this
transition.
STEP 4:
DAY 101–1 YEAR POST ACQUISITION
The
newly joined companies now function as a fully integrated team. Any
lingering divisions between the two sides can result in a failed merger
or acquisition.
