Synergies matter only when they can be tied to specific operating changes
Cost and revenue assumptions become credible when owners, actions, timing and dependencies are explicit before integration begins.
Readiness is not willingness: it is the organization's practical capacity to move
True readiness depends on leadership attention, operating capacity, role clarity and the ability to absorb disruption.
Strategic challenges
