CLIENT CASE - Defining a post-merger integration strategy
Discover how OPM Conseil supported a company in defining its post-merger integration strategy and aligning organizational models: approach, results, and key benefits.
When one company is integrated into another, both entities must align their operations, tools, resources, processes, and cultures to form a unified organization. A well-defined post-merger integration strategy ensures smoother operations and greater coherence. It requires thorough preparation before the merger and structured follow-up afterward. This strategy may include an operational alignment plan to harmonize both entities.
Why define a post-merger integration strategy?
Context and challenges of a corporate merger

OPM Conseil was brought in to support the integration strategy, from pre-merger planning to execution. The goal was to establish a shared organizational structure aligned with the group’s economic objectives and to ensure a smooth transition.
