Strategy is the operating constitution of your deal. Define a one-page integration thesis, pick an integration model, publish decision rights, protect must-not-break areas, and stage the work so early wins build belief while big moves are taken with evidence.

Deals strain leadership bandwidth. Learn how fractional CFO/COO/CTO/CHRO roles stabilise execution, own outcomes in the IMO, accelerate early wins, and transfer playbooks—so your team scales without sacrificing control or speed.
