WHY IT MATTERS
Research indicates that 70–90% of M&A deals fail to achieve expected synergies. Most integration risk stems not from financial or operational design, but from leadership alignment, cultural integration, and organizational behavior. These risks are often identifiable early, but are typically addressed too late to fully protect synergy realization.
FILI provides an independent view of the human and organizational dynamics that shape execution performance, including leadership misalignment, cultural friction, capacity constraints, and emerging resistance across legacy organizations.
We translate these signals into clear priorities that improve execution clarity and protect value realization.
