GTM integration in weeks. Not 12 to 18 months.
Combined positioning, joint playbooks, cross-sell intelligence, and unified sales enablement. The work McKinsey, Bain, BCG, and Deloitte do in 12-month projects, run inside the company in weeks. Synergy captured while the deal still has momentum.
M&A integration takes 12-18 months. Synergy expires in weeks.
Post-acquisition GTM integration is a 12-18 month consulting project.
McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte are brought in to design the combined positioning, the cross-sell strategy, the integrated playbook. They produce excellent deliverables, slowly. Meanwhile, the synergy thesis was based on capture in the first 6 months.
While the integration plan is being built, customers wait.
Acquired-company customers don't know what changes. Acquiring-company customers hear nothing about new capabilities. The 60-90 day post-close trust window closes before anyone speaks to them with a coherent story.
Sales teams operate on instinct.
Reps from both sides keep pitching their old playbook because no new one exists. Cross-sell happens by accident when someone notices. Most opportunities go unidentified and unworked.
By the time the consulting deliverables land, the deal has lost momentum.
The synergy targets were predicated on speed of execution. Twelve months in, the board is asking why integration is dragging and why the cross-sell numbers aren't hitting.
