Integration and separation leaders

Move quickly.Keep the business running.

Carve-outs and integrations are won or lost on sequencing. BML runs separation, transition and Day 1 / Day 100 as one accountable programme.

01

The pressure

01

Day 1 is not negotiable

The business has to trade on the morning after, whatever is unfinished behind it.

02

The TSA is a cost and a constraint

Exit planning starts on day one, not when the invoices become uncomfortable.

03

Two organisations, one plan

Buyer and seller need a shared risk register and decision log, or the programme runs on email.

BML/OS underneath the work

Both sides of the transaction work in one environment: workstreams, dependencies, risks and decisions with owners and dates.

One record

Every engagement runs on the same operating system, so the evidence exists before anyone asks for it.
