Although videoconferencing and collaborative tools have proven effective in maintaining business during the post-covid era there are some aspects of post-merger integration that may be impossible to truly accomplish virtually. There are many aspects of post-M&A-integration which could effectively be accomplished virtually such as IT and HR system integration. However, one of the key silos is cultural integration which depends heavily on the day-to-day interactions, work environment, and culture which cannot easily be reflected or quantified virtually. Such aspects of integration would be difficult to address or even identify virtually and would most likely only show up once face-to-face activities are resumed.
