Phase Four — Execution

Execution is the continuation of the Transition Phase. Execution delivers the high impact, high value integration synergies. It is essential to deliver quick hits during Execution. This demonstrates that the value drivers are being vigorously pursued and momentum is being built within the teams.

We recognize that there also are longer term integration considerations. Many synergies are realized only after major integration activities are complete. Staying focused on the deal drivers, governing under a formal integration office, communicating frequently to all constituents, and delivering value on a 30 day cycle will keep the integration on track and deliver the expected benefits of the deal.
