The 83% Synergy Trap: Why Your M&A Deal Will Likely Destroy Value
Most M&A deals fail before the ink is dry. With an 83% synergy failure rate, your post-merger integration is either active on Day 1 or it is a liability.
Synergy is a buzzword that masks integration failure. 83% of deals in the UK destroy value because boards focus on the transaction rather than the operation. Post-merger paralysis is the primary killer of ROI.
Integration starts at due diligence, not after the completion party. You cannot wait until Day 100 to find out your systems are incompatible or your cultures are hostile. You need an active synergy plan that is tracked like a P&L.
Simplif-i provides the Lead Auditor oversight required to force integration. We do not just advise; we execute. If you are not integrating at pace, you are eroding value.
