Partnership Models

Partnership Models for Global Integrations

Cross-border integrations introduce cultural and organizational challenges that often sit outside standard PMI playbooks. Leadership misalignment, unclear decision rights, and local-global tension can undermine even well-designed integration programs.

We partner with post-merger integration consulting firms as a specialist in international and cultural integration, strengthening outcomes without disrupting client relationships.

Where Cross-Border Complexity Creates Risk

In international integrations, PMI teams often encounter challenges such as:

• Leadership teams operating with different cultural assumptions

• Decision-making friction between headquarters and local markets

• Resistance to global operating models in newly acquired regions

• Limited visibility into cultural risks affecting execution

These dynamics can slow progress and distract integration leadership from core delivery.
