Merger Integration

Look to ACME if you need to .....

... join two or more companies into one bigger, more streamlined machine. You're trying to bring together new (and different) teams, new (and different) products, and new (and different) systems under one roof. When you merge, the point is to multiply your muscle — not your headaches. Just as critical: making it look to the outside world that the merged companies are brothers of the same mother — and meant to be together.

For example:
Grow or die, or both? You are in acquisition mode — moving fast to grow product scope and services — and the make-or-break issue is how quickly, effectively, and efficiently you can integrate these new businesses into your own.

The project: David Kelleher stood at the center of this type of mayhem and helped a growing company in this very situation by looking big-picture and determining how the new pieces of manufacturing, product development, marketing, sales, and customer service fit together.

The result: The acquired companies came together quickly and smartly into a more capable business machine—a machine that reduced sales order cycle by 30%, improved service levels, and, to this day, suffers significantly less contract bleed-off.
