Post-Merger Integration & Value Capture
Capture the synergies the deal model promised — against the clock.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your post-merger integration numbers satisfy the regulator but not the market: margins compress, deposits migrate, and the cost-to-income ratio drifts the wrong way. Executives who cannot read the unit economics of post-merger integration end up defending yesterday's business model with yesterday's numbers. You leave able to say what your institution should own, what it should partner and what it should exit in post-merger integration — with the numbers to defend each.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Diagnose where your institution creates — and destroys — value in post-merger integration across the balance sheet.
- Present a post-merger integration position to boards and supervisors with evidence they will accept.
- Read the economics of post-merger integration like an operator: unit costs, network effects and risk-adjusted return.
- Sequence a post-merger integration transformation agenda that a board will fund and a regulator will endorse.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
Deposits Leave at the Speed of a Rumour
A viral post questions a pan-African insurer’s solvency. The institution is sound, but its deposit base is concentrated and its app is the third-slowest in the market. By morning, the interbank line has tightened.
Your decision: Set the 72-hour posture — liquidity, communication and regulator engagement — with incomplete information about how far the run goes.
IPAT Data Lab™
The post-merger integration unit economics at a development finance institution work in the business case and fail in the ledger.
Dataset: Synthetic product-level revenue, cost and capital data for a development finance institution.
Your task: Rebuild the unit economics, stress them against rate and funding shocks, and recommend what to scale or exit.
A stress-tested post-merger integration economics model and a board-grade summary page.
