The situation

An international logistics-services group bought its largest competitor in Japan. Two companies with different systems, sales approaches and cultures had to become one business, without losing customers during the change.

What we did

  • Ran the post-merger integration on the ground in Japan, in Japanese and English.
  • Formed one leadership team out of two and agreed its targets.
  • Brought both organisations onto one system and one sales approach, steered by KPIs.

The result

Two companies became one team, with one committed leadership team and KPI-driven sales (2022–23).
