Expectations and opportunities for post-merger integrations are higher than ever. AI-enabled tools and advanced approaches to value creation have redefined what’s possible, while outdated playbooks risk leaving value untapped. Our approach offers the right tools, infrastructure, and cultural alignment expertise to consistently exceed targets: Bain-supported integrations deliver 75% greater cost and revenue synergies than non-Bain deals.

Our post-merger integration strategy consultants go far beyond typical “arms and legs” program management. We collaborate with you to design a tailored Integration Thesis—a guiding framework that aligns the integration with your strategic goals. Then, we manage the integration around the pivotal decisions that truly deliver full potential deal value: What operating model will unlock growth? How will go-to-market functions combine to achieve new heights? What cultural “fault lines” must we bridge to enable progress?

With Signal, our proprietary AI-enabled integration management tool, and insights from 2,200+ prior integrations, we manage the “blocking and tackling” so process steps don’t get in the way of value creation. Finally, to ensure future success, we help you develop a repeatable, adaptable integration capability that continuously improves.
