Integration Management Office (IMO)
How to complete the M&A integration process, minimise disruptions, and achieve desired outcomes.

In this economic climate carrying out deals can be risky and nothing is guaranteed. PricewaterhouseCoopers has conducted a recent study where only 44% of deals were considered to be a “financial success”, and even less, just 38%, were considered to be an “operational success”

These failures, however are seldom due to lack of strategy rather it is about executing the strategy in a controlled and timely manner. At Emerge we enable and assist our clients to convert the strategy into thorough and detailed actions, we find by being thorough across the entire organisation is a key ingredient for success. In order to be successful post integration, Emerge constructs an adequate Governance model to align the organisations people, processes, systems and technology in order to achieve the overall successful outcome and key objectives. Our Integration Management Office (IMO) is equipped to deal with these activities. 

The IMO is the central hub for all post integration activities and is considered to be the central command centre handling all key functions in the organisation. Our IMO team members are experienced resources and by following a detailed timeline and fit for purpose methodology any post integration projects can be managed successfully, ensuring delivery of projects stay on track for all our clients.
