Our client had just announced the acquisition of a Dallas based mail services business, their largest acquisition of the year. Upon making the announcement the Southern Region VP of Human Resources, based on his previous experience working with one of TGG’s founding partners on M&A transactions, contacted The Grasp Group to program manage the organizational integration of the business.

TGG immediately went to work developing an overall project plan to integrate the newly acquired organization. In addition to managing the overall organization integration, TGG provided consulting services to the deal leadership team on all aspects of the new organization leadership and organizational structure. This involved one on one meetings with both the acquiring and acquired organization leadership teams to understand the longer term strategy of the new business and the resulting leadership competencies required to realize the strategy. Numerous transitional programs including a Key Resources Identification Program, a Transitional Key Resource Retention Program, a Job Posting and Selection Program for the direct labor pool and an overall Integration Communication Strategy and Program were the result of these discussions. The Grasp Group customized these programs and strategies in response to the specific needs identified through consultation with the mail services business.

The end result was the successful integration of the mail services business into our clients existing organization. The successful and purposeful identification of acquired resources to retain and place strategically in the new organization directly contributed to the smooth transition of customers’ work into the acquiring organization. Our client’s Senior Vice President, Manufacturing, Business Integration & Chief Information Officer described TGG’s involvement as “a welcome and valuable addition to the team…added a great deal of value to the process."
