The plan is the easy half Deciding what not to integrate is the hard half, and it is the half that gets skipped. Every function will argue that its systems must be merged immediately. Most of them are wrong, and the ones that are right can prove it with a number. This deck exis

A synergy number is a claim, and claims get tested Every figure in this deck should be traceable to a measurement somebody took on a date. The number that survives is not the largest one. It is the one whose baseline exists, whose definition did not change halfway, and whose ow

Culture here means how decisions get made Not values, not workshops, not a poster. Who can approve what, how fast, on whose say-so, and what happens when someone disagrees. Those differences are observable, they can be written down, and they are what actually breaks when two pr

A risk register nobody reads is worse than none It creates the impression that the risk was managed, which is exactly what makes the post mortem so uncomfortable. The test for everything in this deck is whether it changes what somebody does this month. A risk with no owner, no

The register is the output. This is the machine. Five steps, and it does not stop. Editable 16-page PowerPoint template.
The register is the output. This is the machine. Most integration risk work fails at the finding stage, not the managing stage. The risks that hurt were known to somebody, usually somebody fairly junior, and there was no route from them to the register.

Map by influence over this program, not by seniority The finance business partner who owns the synergy definition has more influence over whether this succeeds than most people two grades above them. Seniority maps are easy to build and describe the wrong thing.

Our Story
“Imagine having a team of experienced AI practitioners at your disposal to help you ship AI products and modernize your operations. How much more confident would you be about your organization’s AI journey — and your own career?
Most teams facing AI for the first time start from a blank page. They rediscover the same frameworks, make the same avoidable mistakes, and burn months building materials that already exist elsewhere. Specialist consultants can help, but at day rates most budgets can’t sustain.
We created U2xAI Frameworks to close that gap: comprehensive, fully editable toolkits that package the frameworks, processes, 101 guides and how-tos we use in real AI product and transformation work — at a price any professional can justify.
Whether you’re a product manager shipping your first AI feature, a procurement leader modernizing source-to-pay, or a supply chain executive building an AI roadmap, you can now leverage structured, field-tested material without breaking your budget.”
