Cris Casey on Fixing M&A Execution Drag | Master Your Merger S2 Ep14

Written by:
Most integrations do not derail because leaders lack strategy. They derail because execution gets buried under miscommunication, unclear ownership, and self-inflicted complexity that multiplies over time.
In this episode, Klint Kendrick talks with Cris Casey, an M&A execution and integration practitioner and the creator of the CRISP method, about what actually breaks post-close and how operators can reduce friction without adding bureaucracy.
What you will take away:
- How “small” communication issues compound into missed decisions and stalled workstreams
- Why many integration plans look good but fail under real SME bandwidth and dependency constraints
- The integration basics to lock early: decision rights, escalation paths, and governance that does not create drag
- A practical view on TSAs: reduce administrative issues by agreeing operating mechanics before close
