Post Merger Integration Training Course

The Successful Post-Merger Integration Training Course, for the duration of Covid 19 restrictions delivered as a webinar, is a two day programme that teaches a proven, best practice approach to running a speedy but controlled post-merger integration that maximises synergies while minimising operational risk.

Guided by our expert tutors you move from the key decisions made in the pre-deal phase, through the critical first 100 days and on to full synergy delivery. The course provides a solid grounding in the M&A integration techniques used by some of the world’s most successful companies to deliver value from their M&A transactions.

The course covers the post-merger integration issues most likely to arise in each business function and the most important business processes. You will be taught how to set up and run the M&A integration project and how to maintain focus on achieving the synergies that are essential to deliver value from an acquisition.

The course is designed for established executives in the flow of their careers with a strong emphasis on the practical rather than the theoretical. Each section of the course provides tools, templates and techniques that you can take back to your company and apply immediately to post-merger integration projects.

Our tutors have hands-on experience delivering large and smaller scale integration projects inside multinational corporations. This means the course is rich with real-world illustrations and case studies taken from their own post-merger integration experience.

This course is independently accredited by the Continuing Professional Development Association to provide hours or points that can be applied to the CPD requirements of professional bodies.

Level: Intermediate to advanced level
CPD: 14 CPD hours
