Customer Story — Susan’s 6‑Months to Benefits
Role: CEO, 32 Years’ Experience
Challenge
Worried that the integration would disrupt customers and drive talent away, Susan also faced intense pressure to hit the deal’s synergy targets. She needed to realize financial benefits—on schedule—while still meeting every business‑case milestone and keeping day‑to‑day operations on course.
Action
With Gotara’s support, Susan and her team developed a new vision and strategy for their combined organization. They established success metrics for integration, created dashboards for transparency, and adopted a robust program management process. Susan’s team prioritized key integration activities and launched 60- and 90-day workstreams to turbocharge execution. Each workstream leader worked closely with a Gotara business leader to meet critical targets. At every step, Gotara coached Susan’s leaders to ensure the new operating model would outlast the integration.
Results
Susan’s team achieved integration in just 6 months—half the original schedule—with negligible customer disruptions and zero voluntary turnover. Her team echoed success, stating, “This was not done to us but by us. Thank you!”

Beyond M&A Integration: Additional Outcomes
Kalyan’s Alignment Breakthrough
Early in the integration journey, product requests multiplied, teams lost sight of the company’s north star: revenue from the core platform flatlined, NPS fell 8 points, and pulse surveys flagged rising burnout. Projects drifted off‑strategy, key deadlines slipped, and morale was fading.
Sophia Scales Without Burnout
Richard Raises the Bar on Innovation
After the first two launches post-deal close fell short of expectations, the pressure was on for Richard and his team. Leadership was keen to explore a new concept, but board members were voicing concerns. They wanted to see a rigorous de-risking strategy, quicker validation methods, and a boost in morale for the weary product organization. The stakes were high, and the team knew they had to rise to the occasion.
Siwon Beats the Clock
Jill’s 2‑Month Rollout Success
Megha’s 90‑Day Productivity Lift
Post‑reorg talent losses left critical knowledge gaps, skeptical engineers, and rising cycle times. Feature requests backed by customers were dismissed as “trivial,” testing effort ballooned, and a newly formed team lacked confidence and cohesion.
