Don’t just take our word for it—trusted sources agree.

You’ve worked hard to lead your company toward growth, and M&A has proven to be a powerful strategy for expansion. But achieving true success in mergers doesn’t stop at signing the deal—it hinges on effective integration.

Major voices like The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Bloomberg, and Financial Times agree on one thing: integration challenges can make or break your deal.

📉 The Wall Street Journal: “In more than half of all mergers, deals fail to deliver the intended synergies, often because of unforeseen challenges in combining different corporate cultures and operational processes.”

🔑 Financial Times: “One of the most common reasons for M&A failure is the tendency of companies to focus too much on closing the deal, while the vital integration phase — where value is actually created — is treated as an afterthought.”
