TESTIMONIALS FROM CLIENTS

PRITCHETT’s wealth of knowledge and experience with M&A integrations is enormous. They are game-changers and fantastic to work with! The PRITCHETT playbook of processes, templates, and governance allowed us to successfully integrate our most significant acquisition with a professional and well-organized approach. The PRITCHETT consultants’ attention to detail, analytical skills, and ability to engage our stakeholders provided Primoris with the most successful M&A integration to date. All of our team members learned a tremendous amount of knowledge from PRITCHETT. We are delighted with our investment!

Sean Gordon

Senior Vice President of Special Projects

Primoris Services Corporation

Spirent hadn’t transacted an acquisition in a while, so it was critical to engage with M&A integration specialists who could shepherd us through a best-practices methodology while also taking a pragmatic approach. PRITCHETT’s integration framework and consultants provided the practical guidance we needed to ensure success and “taught us to fish” through the development of a playbook for future deals. Stakeholders up and down the Spirent organization were very pleased with the PRITCHETT team’s expert assistance. Money well spent!

FirstLight Power

Our transaction was very atypical, with numerous delays, a divestiture, an asset sale, and many other unique circumstances making the degree of difficulty quite formidable. Despite all this, the PRITCHETT M&A integration process and consultants helped us the entire way and were able to adjust to these circumstances and keep us on track. They were critical factors in our ability to pull off a successful integration. We are glad we had them along for this important journey for our company.

PRITCHETT was able to quickly add a great deal of value to our integration planning, implementation, and reporting processes. With PRITCHETT, we had the confidence to tackle several integrations one after another. Our functional leads received invaluable support and training from their team. The PRITCHETT consultants worked with us to develop our integration approach to manage multiple transactions and hit the ground running. PRITCHETT brought experience, processes, and templates that we leveraged to succeed. Their consultants’ post-close oversight and timely reporting ensured we didn’t miss a beat during planning and execution.

2. Expertise

PRITCHETT LP's competitors have very little content about post-merger integration on their web sites relative to the thousands of pages of ‘how to’ guidance on our site, MergerIntegration.com.

Why? Because post-merger integration is a sideline business for them. It generates a small fraction of their sales. They are general practitioners whereas we are specialists. The true experts in any field are specialists and PRITCHETT consultants have maintained a singular, unwavering focus on post-merger integration for over 35 years.

3. Methodology

PRITCHETT’s integration methodology is easy to follow and well-organized. It’s a lean, repeatable process. Some M&A advisors pitch integration methodologies with complicated rules that create confusion and add no value. In some cases, acquirers feel compelled to hire consultants on an ongoing basis to navigate the very complexity built into the process by the same consultants.

An effective methodology should make an organization more capable and less dependent on outside experts. PRITCHETT’s approach is not over-engineered. A person needs common sense, not a doctorate degree to understand and apply it.

4. Thought Leadership

Many of the most influential pieces on M&A integration have been written by PRITCHETT. We have sold two million of our books on post-merger integration, more than the sales of all other authors combined on that subject. Additionally, over 30,000 managers have attended our merger integration workshop making it the most successful M&A integration training program in the world. Plus, our web site, MergerIntegration.com, is the most visited online resource on M&A integration. It features over 100 presentations, 100 tools, and 20 playbooks from more than 100 of our consulting engagements.

5. Flexibility

Our firm has consulted on the largest pharmaceutical, oil and gas, financial exchange, and bank M&A integrations in history. And on very small deals in practically every industry. We can easily staff a project with many senior, well-experienced M&A integration consultants, or even just one, based on the size and complexity of the acquisition and bandwidth of an acquirer's integration teams.

PRITCHETT consultants have subject matter expertise in many areas including IT, communications, HR, finance and accounting, sales and marketing, operations, procurement, and supply chain. We can turn on a dime to meet a client's resource needs.
