Add-on acquisitions (and the integrations that follow) are becoming a bigger and bigger part of life in private equity. On the surface, a well-run integration seems straightforward: You compile a to-do list, track your progress weekly, and work on removing the obstacles that keep two businesses from becoming one. But here at ParkerGale Capital, there's a secret ingredient we notice driving our most successful integrations: A management team that’s willing to communicate (over and over) where we’re headed, how we’re going to get there, and what it’s going to take to bring two companies together. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our “After The Add-On” CEO Handbook to the public. So if you’re curious about: 💡 The hidden forces that keep management teams from communicating effectively during an integration 💡 The core principles that can help keep your team on the same page post-acquisition 💡 Our “work on stuff together” approach to bringing cultures together ...then you’re in for a fun read. This isn’t just another whitepaper. Built with 37signals' new product, Writebook, it’s a step-by-step playbook for how to use the power of clarity and communication to take your next integration from good to great. Check it out at the link in the comments.
Thanks for sharing! Communication really is the key to effective execution of any strategy, but seems to be often overlooked. Looks like I'm in for a fun read :)
