Challenge
A private equity backed healthcare provider was gearing up to acquire a competitor – doubling the size of its business. However, the organization was still struggling with a prior acquisition, that had not yet been integrated.
The underling deal model required a 5% reduction in operational expense in the first year and 8% in the second year. Achieving strategic and financial results required that individuals from all three legacy organizations be united into one organization under a new corporate brand.
