PRITCHETT is the firm that originally established

acquisition integration

consulting as a specialized practice area.  We wrote the first  hardcover book on the topic, 

After the Merger: The Authoritative Guide to Integration Success.

We also authored the all-time M&A bestseller,


The Employee Guide to Mergers and Acquisitions,

plus many other merger-specific books and countless papers and articles.

Our

merger training programs,

based in part on our publications, have helped more than 30,000 managers and employees manage their challenges before and after the close of their mergers.

We're true specialists. Not general practitioners that dabble in merger integration. Organizations come to us because of our focus and deep expertise in post merger integration management.
