Insight, 5440 Wade Park Blvd #101, Raleigh, NC 27607,

The Mergers & Acquisitions PMO

The world of mergers & acquisitions is exciting and dynamic, requiring strong project leadership for success.  The lifecycle of a transaction broadly includes identifying the target, signing a term sheet, performing due diligence and, finally, integrating the target company. This interactive session will explore the Integration Management Office (IMO), a close cousin to the PMO, which drives that final step of knitting two organizations together. We will compare and contrast the two offices including missions, terminologies, responsibilities, and technologies.

Learning objectives:

• Understand why the IMO exists
• Learn M&A terminology
• Explore similarities & differences between PMO & IMO
• Review how to apply PMO skills in M&A integrations
