Case Study: a PE-backed defense technology platform accelerates post-merger integration with Entromy

a PE-backed defense technology platform accelerates post-merger integration in 6 days with Entromy

A PE-backed defense technology platform faced a challenge during its post-merger integration of three acquisitions. Despite a clean org chart, the company struggled with inconsistent adoption of new directives and slower-than-planned synergy capture because trust and influence had not merged across the acquired entities. The COO engaged Entromy, using its Execution Pulse service to conduct an organizational network analysis (ONA) to identify the company's true influencer network.

Entromy's solution quantified the actual influencer network, mapping where employees went for information and trust. This allowed the leadership team to strategically target change adoption by enlisting key influencers early, deliberately build cross-acquisition bridges, and provide the board with a concrete plan. The immediate result was that the COO gained a tangible lever to pull, enabling her to sequence integration efforts around the real network to accelerate adoption and mitigate risk.
