CASE STUDY
Developed a company-specific M&A integration playbook encompassing 16 workstreams, including ERP and Human Resource (HRIS) integration, branding, change management, and communication strategies
Supported a global integration effort for the acquisition of a U.S.-based company with operations in both the United States and China.
Standardized key metrics and processes to ensure alignment between the acquiree and the overarching corporate strategy.
Facilitated multiple retrospectives and two Kaizen events, leading to continuous improvements in the integration playbook for future M&A activities.
Successfully delivered the client’s first on-time and on-budget integration, contrasting previous integrations that lacked 5280 PMO support.
A multinational corporation embarked on acquiring a U.S.-based company with operations spanning the United States and China. Managing a cross-border acquisition of this scale presented a series of challenges, including integrating business processes, aligning corporate cultures, and ensuring seamless communication between stakeholders. Previous acquisitions conducted without structured support had resulted in delays, budget overruns, and inconsistencies in execution, underscoring the need for a more robust and methodical approach.
5280 PMO was engaged to ensure the success of this integration by implementing a structured, repeatable approach. The key objectives included:
Creating a Tailored Integration Playbook
Establishing a standardized yet flexible framework that would serve as a blueprint for managing the complexities
Ensuring Strategic and Operational Alignment
Defining clear metrics and processes to harmonize operations between the parent company and the acquiree, minimizing disruption while maximizing efficiency.
Facilitating Continuous Improvement
Introducing structured reflection and refinement mechanisms, including retrospectives and Kaizen events, to enhance the effectiveness of future M&A integrations.
To meet these objectives, 5280 PMO deployed a structured integration methodology that addressed both immediate and long-term needs:
1. Developing a Comprehensive M&A Integration Playbook
2. Managing Global Integration with a Cross-Border Focus
3. Standardizing Metrics and Processes for Alignment
4. Driving Continuous Improvement Through Reflection and Action
