Utopia: We know that for a successful integration, the ideal scenario to assign employees, with the right skill sets, dedicated/prioritized to work on integrating a new acquisition, in order to achieve the business case.
Reality: most company do not want to pull their best employees in the various functions away from ‘Business as usual’ for an extended period of time to work on integration.
Question: is it best to hirer external integration team or assign employees in certain/pockets of areas and then backfill them to focus on integration, quickly. Or, still leverage employees, have them incorporate the work into their existing workday and extend the integration timeline and perhaps some quality, knowing that you can perhaps rectify over time?
