Standing at above 70%, the M&A failure rate is exceptionally high, and with good reasons.

Post-merger integration (PMI) is the strategic process of combining operations, finances, and cultures of two separate companies into one new entity. As the integral part of an M&A transaction, how well the PMI process is planned and executed directly impacts the success of the merger, and companies are taking notice. According to PwC, 59% of companies are spending 6% or more of deal value on integration in 2022, compared to 38% previously.

In this guide, we first explore common reasons behind failed merger integrations. Then, we dive into key considerations during integration planning and provide practical strategies to ensure implementation success. Finally, we offer several best practices to help you navigate the integration process.
