The Intelligent Integration: Setting the Foundation for Value Creation

Integration doesn’t start on Day One. It starts before the deal even closes. In this introductory episode of The Mid-Market Edge, Kevin Bonfield launches the Intelligent Integration series — a focused exploration of what separates integrations that create value from those that quietly erode it. As mid-market companies increasingly grow through acquisitions, post-merger integration is no longer a one-time event. It’s a repeatable leadership capability. In this episode, Kevin reframes integration not as a checklist or post-close cleanup, but as a discipline that begins in diligence and shapes value creation long after the transaction closes. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why integration decisions made pre-close matter more than post-close fixes How unclear decision rights create friction after acquisitions Why protecting revenue should come before chasing synergies How cultural misalignment shows up as operational confusion Why integration is a leadership capability — not a project plan If you’re leading M&A, building a private equity-backed platform, or scaling through acquisition in the mid-market, this episode sets the foundation for doing integration intentionally. 🔔 Subscribe for more insights on M&A integration, private equity operations, and mid-market leadership.
