A global pharmaceutical company acquired a large company, and though company leaders had managed smaller integrations through an integration management office (IMO), they needed broader integration support given the complexity.

BTG’s HR talent established the necessary workstreams, and when no internal expertise was available, drew on BTG’s network to supplement the client team with independent experts—bringing on nine integration professionals across the integration.
